Had a great festival. The lemonade was tasty as ever and the Batham's and Dorothy Goodbody's exellent. Even my voice was in pretty good form and we had some interesting discussions with Dave Webber & Anni Fentiman and Jim Mageean (separately!!) Particularly liked the shanty session on Sunday night in the Bell & Talbot, with the Wilsons, Mollymawks, Jim Mageean and Johnny Collins. Magic!

Now hit be reality syndrome, having been away at festivals and various singing events around the country for the last 25 days in a row (with one 18 hour stop over for a singing gig). Visited Sidmouth FF (Devon), Squiverfest (Shropshire), busked in Bury (Lancashire), folk clubs in Shrewsbury, Swinton (Manchester), Limbrick (Lancashire), West Haddlesea (Yorkshire), Whitby FF, Bridgnorth FF but now I am home! Ugh!
