What can I say - wonderful singing, music, companionship with friends (some old & some new), and hospitality at Mooland fit for royalty. Memorable ceilidh last night - not like the usual one in the UK, which consists of dancing and, if you are lucky, an interval spot - but instead a lot of spots and a little dancing, for the children at the start and for the adults at the end. Brilliant - even a spot from a barbershop quartet, which (I think) consisted of one from each of England, Japan, Canada and the USA!

Today has been great too, despite the wet weather at the trip to Waterloo, chilling out with a great group of people. I even managed to persuade Bill\Sables to sing his own composition Whitby Fishermen (using his own words and the tune and chorus of Blessed Quietness) - thanks Bill! Got to go now and sing When the Dark Time Ends with Noreen and Linda Kelly.The Gather round circle of friends ...
