Eric, Thanks I will try to make it.. Is " The Jug" a pub?? Where pray tell, I mean what village ???? I am going to ask Sandy and Caroline for thoughts as well and I know they know Bill...Yes I think we will do a car.. Brit rail passes are $265.00 each and for three that sounds like renting a car is easier. I did drive on the wrong side of the road in Farnam last time. ( I was sleep deprived at the time beeing my first day there with no sleep!!!! Sorry. ) It would be great to see Johny Handle as well... Sinsull: I am taking my older boys( Ben 20 and Sam 19)to look at beautiful stone work and wood hundreds years old.I think they are going for the Beer <><><><> I thought Ripon and York. Fountains Abby is one of my faverite places on earth and Rolly Curtis( Son of Geaorge Curtis of Littlethorp pottery is inchs away.. Also I worked at Wheatherriggs Pottery outside of Penrith so I thought a day or two in the lakes would be fun.. I love Castlerigg. It is one of the most personal Stone circles in GB!!!Bardon Mill outside New Castle has a great salt glazed pottery called Errington Ray Pottery and the men who ran it are active in the Northumberland pipe So.. The owner of Weatherriggs is a great blues fan as well .. Potters and music do seem to go together.

Anyone need an instroment brought from the US????I saw a great Gibson LOO today at Fretted workshop,$1400.00 Also THere are some great banjos around here..Ahh the fun of it all. All the best to all here. and thanks for the information Above. Guy<><><><><><><><><><><><>><><><><><><><>><><><><><><><>>><><>><>>><><>
