I've got six bottles of chilled beer! Not sure whether to get any food, might get a bit of fish - trying to lose weight. Hope these guitar strings hold out, I thought I had some spares, but I think I remember giving them away a year or so ago. The current strings are about 3 years old. Must get some new ones for Knockholt.

I took photos this afternoon, and thought I'd better take one of you, Pierre. You looked so odd, but it was the same chapeau, so, even though your body resembled a guitar case, it must have been you.

Clearly your Charming to the last you are, Im sure" (Spotted Dick)

If Im putting on weight. (Im aware I am) I think it is due to,too much Lording it up at Folk B.B.Qs, Pigs Ear mini fests
Death aversarys etc. and not nessessary in that order.

Brilliant day - Woodsie you were rotten!!!! Got home about 1.00am this morning - just going to get ready for work now but feel quite tired!

P le C - Chicken was gooooood! Thank you. Sure wish you could've stayed.

Woodsie - that Nottamun Town was off the cuff. Crow Sister and I need to do some practice together on that and few other pieces.

Thanks to all the ladies who accompanied me on Advice to the Ladies.
And Richard Bridge for being appropriately excited by the sheep verses. And for John Barden's good humour when I accused him of wearing my tights.

Royston - I love that Robin Hood and his Merryie men song.

I only drank one bottle of the 2 of Jacques Cider I brought, but today I feel quite horrible. I think though it is reaction to sun (burned on one side) which is not unusual for me. Very bad sore throat and sneezing this morning. As I ate both some sausage and a bit of chinese chicken maybe I have BBQ Swine or Bird flu.

Music was wonderful, friends were wonderfuller.

Thank you Linda for hosting it.

See y'all at Knockholt.

Linda, Thanks for a wonderful afternoon, I didn't want to go home. Really enjoyed the singing & music, great to see everyone again and to meet and hear Crow Sister, the food was amazing I woke up thinking about that rice and bean salad and there was another lovely pasta dish with dill. Looking forward to doing it all again at Knockholt, sorry you won't be there naughtyforty but will catch up with you at Song & ale.

Cheers to Essex Girl for a lovely afternoon, nice to mingle a wee bit more and meet some new people. Hi to Ladyraffles *waves*!
Everyone was lovely, as they always are!
Cheers to VTam & TS1 for rides and putting up with my incessant drunkardly jabbering all the way home: what alcohol takes away in the form of words to songs (three times...), it generously gives back threefold, in the form of enthused witterings!

Much looking forward to my first Knockholt. See you'se all this Saturday.

Nice ones Woodsie :-).

Had a great time, and then some. Great weather and a big thanks to Linda for the home brew - it was fabulous. Also to Woodsie for acquiring some more beer for me. That was a BIG bottle of red plonk, so he didn't manage to finish it, so I gave it a little bit more help, but there's still some left.

Great singing and playing fom all of you, all in all a thoroughly pleasant way to spend a Sunday. Another BIG thankyou goes you Linda for the use of the caravan overnight - we slept well and left at about 09:30.

It was great to see some faces I have not seen in nearly a Year. Iam pleased my Tanglewood was kept busy in my absence. I was not two put out about having to leave because I know I will being seeing you lot all over again at Knockholt but I did not want to go regardless.

Woopdsie you photos are very good especially the photo showing Essex Girl looking so peaceful and out of it. and a big cheesy grin to boot. What ever is Alf doing with whatever that Green stuff is he clutching

I believe that the "green stuff" was used in place of the singaround stick. It was passed around and when it came to you, it was your turn to sing!

I used to do the same thing with the Green stuff but when it came to you it was your turn to smoke.

Hey Dipsodeb, cheers :), and same to you folks likewise! Be good to be able to get to know peeps a bit better next weekend in fact, as I've only done a couple of song sessions thus far.

Anyway, after youse all singing 'Drink to the Men', I'm thinking of raising the bar regards colourful songs for the lasses.

So, if we have a Strumpet, a Doxy and and a pox ridden Hussy hanging around this rat infested midden (Essex Slapper is taken), would they kindly present (fishnet stockings and peep-hole frillies optional...)?
Anyone fancy having a go at The Four Old Whores of Baltimore?
One verse a piece, and shared chorus. So who's up ferret? Holds breath........... ;-)

Couple of YouTubes for the tune here:

Four Old Whores of Baltimore (I love this version)
Four Old Whores

Lyrics:

Four Old Whores

There were four old whores from Baltimore
Drinking beer and wine.
The topic of conversation was
"Mine is bigger than thine.'

cho: Roly, poly, tickle my hole-y,
    Smell of my slimy slough.
    Then drag your nuts across my guts,
    I'm one of the whorey crew.

The first old whore from Baltimore said,
"Mine's as big as the air.
The birds fly in, the birds fly out,
And never touch a hair."

The second old whore from Baltimore said,
"Mine's as big as the moon.
The men jump in, the men jump out,
And never touch the womb."

The third old whore from Baltimore said,
"Mine's as big as the sea.
The ships sail in, the ships sail out,
And leave their rigging free."

The fourth old whore from Baltimore said,
"Mine's the biggest of all.
A man went up in the springtime,
And didn't come out till fall."
