Had a great time myself too:-

* chatting to many good friends, some of whom are Mudcatters - nice to see you all again
* using my new campervan - and it worked!
* singing some songs - some of which went down pretty well
* joining in with loads of other wonderful songs - there were some great harmonies
* going to two parties - thanks Jude
* busking with my concertina on the seafront and making the princely sum of £3.67 in 40 minutes (including a total of 5p from other MB Singers!) - what fun!
* being invited by Tony Day to help to officiate on the bench - what an honour!
* being invited to perform in an occasional group later in the year - looking forward to it Mike
* enjoying further entertainment in the Forest of Dean on my way back - thanks Sandy! AND, NOT LEAST
* finding out yesterday that my mate, Chris Gorniac's important pow-wow with his doctors went very, very well - and that we should all be singing with him again soon!

Looking forward to seeing you all again at the folk festival in August and before!

PS Sorry to hear about the boiler, Kitty - not too expensive I hope!
