After 15 or so years of HEARING about it I decided to include a Royal Mile Chantey Sing as part of my getaway to Getaway...

and it turned out to be a little mini-getaway on it's own -
Bill & Rita; Carly & Dean; Sandralin and Gene; Severn, Frieda Underhill, (I can't spell her real name or I would), Joe Offer and more! Vince Wilding was also there; and - KathyW from Chicago who is a mudcatter and was in town for business so came out to the Royal Mile.....(we continued on the sidewalk for a while after leaving the pub...)

And I only got a little lost getting back to my hotel....I should have trusted the directions as I think I got off route 100 one exit too soon....but at least I knew my way (more or less) from there - just has to add about 15 miles to put the context right in my mind.
