Wonderful weekend!

Singing Together workshop went very well, I thought. Had just the right number of people, enjoyed reliving old songs (though several in our booklet had interesting verses that must have been excised from school versions of the songs!!!). Can we do it again next year, Ali please?

Weather beautiful all weekend until it came time to put tent down this morning and the heavens opened- ah well. Makes one realise what a beautiful part of the world Saddleworth is, when you can see the view and not hurry from venue to venue with head down wrapped in waterproofs *grin*

Stayed over Sunday night to enjoy the Survivors' Sing at the Cross Keys- that was a night and a half. Such singing!! Agreed, Bob, When all Men Sing sung by the whole room, followed by Scowie saying that it wasn't his song, it is our song...
A very special moment.
