Don't worry, I'll remedy that, Mudguard. Most people know it is happening now.
Liz, I thought you had booked in at Pippins. If not, there is the room at my mum's that King Brilliant was going to use.

Mrs Duck, it's a few minutes walk away, so a mobile phone would be handy for emergencies. I thought bored teenagers were surgically attatched to the things from 11 up!!!!

Llanfair - I'm looking forward to it and it sounds as if you are doing a brilliant job sorting out all the details! Well here's a few more ... !

Snuffy and I have the Friday off and will be travelling together, so we may well arrive early in the afternoon, after a pub stop on the way for lunch of course!
(1) How early can we check in - at the Institute/trailer?
(2) With whom will we be sharing the trailer?
(3) At what time will we be able to dump our stuff in the trailer?
(4) If not very early, will there be anywhere to go in the afternoon, for instance where we can practice our instruments (a concertina and whistles), eg will the pub(s) be open? (5) Can you think of any more questions I should ask ... !?

Alan, would you and Snuffy like to have the accommodation that KingBrilliant won't be using now? I'm concerned about the congestion in the Pippins caravan, and it's self-contained.
Send me a personal message, and I will give you my phone number so that you can contact me when you arrive in Llanfair. Same goes for anyone else who will need showing around when they get here.
Cheers, Bron.

With the Viking, Bill, Skipjack, patrish (if she gets there) jeze..bel 6 sheep, Mudguard and 2 goats. Noreen and the shellback chorous. 84 assorted wildfowl and two mangy dogs.

It's us who should be asking with whom we are sharing the trailer. You two might snore or even worse fart or other things.!! Like be clean, tidy sensible, well mannered and quiet-Snuffy and Alan-only jesting. Hmm, you don't like sheep do you?

You're right Bron but because he is always on the thing he never has any credit but I didn't feel like paying the £10 if there wasn't a good enough reason otherwise he'd just ring his friends all weekend and they would grunt at eachother!!!!
I'm starting to get all excited mnow can you tell? I'm even thinking of making some TROUSERS.

Bore da, Bronwen. I'm still hoping to come, but like Gareth (who BTW I think still owes me a pint of Skull Attack) I'm not sure about pitching a tent in mid-October. However I have got the weekend free, so if all goes well I can set off from Wirral mid-afternoon on Friday, and arrive in Llanfair Ceireinion before dark. I can bring some Cheshire Cheese (the real stuff-from Mrs Appleby's farm), and maybe a large Game Pie from my local butcher.
Hope to see you soon!

Excellent, Matthew. If you are happy to camp on someone's floor, it can be arranged!!! Otherwise the campsite is nice and sheltered, and it's not really cold yet. This time last year, we were on the middle of the wettest autumn in living memory!!

There are three double rooms at Pippins, and, as Micca rang Julia and booked them all, she's a bit confused about who is staying.
She's not the only one!!!
I assume it's Morty and Gomez in one, Liz and child in the other, and Micca in the third. Is that right? If so, I'll find somewhere for John's Mum.

Us hardy Cymri (Welsh) will sleep in the tent, longbow near to hand in case the Saxons cross the March.

And if you want the history

WELSH HISTORY 101
by Heather Rose Jones

If ever you wander out by the Welsh border
Come stop by and see me and all of my kin
I'm Morgan ap Daffyd ap Gwion ap Hywell
Ap Ifor ap Madoc ap Rhodri ap Gwyn
We'll feast you on mutton and harp for your pleasure
And give you a place to sleep out of the cold
Or maybe we'll meet you out on the dark roadway
And rob you of horses and weapons and gold

My neighbor from England has come across raiding
Slain six of my kinsmen and burned down my hall
It cannot be borne this offense and injustice
I've only killed four of his, last I recall
I'll send for my neighbors, Llewellyn and Owain
We'll cut him down as for the border he rides
But yesterday Owain stole three of my cattle
And first I'll retake them and three more besides

We need a strong prince to direct our resistance
Heroic, impartial, of noble degree
My brother's wife's fourth cousin's foster-son, Gruffydd
Is best for the job as I'm sure you'll agree
What matter that Rhys is the old prince's nephew
He's exiled to Ireland and will not return
I know this for every time boats he is building
I send my spies money to see that they burn

Last evening my brother and I were at war
Over two feet of land on a boundary we share
But early this morning, I hear he's been murdered
I'll not rest until I avenge him, I swear
Yes, we are just plain folk who mind our own business
Honest and loyal and full of good cheer
So if you should wander our by the Welsh border
Come stop by and meet all the friendly folk here
