Subject: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Sorcha Date: 18 Jan 04 - 09:33 PM Don't really know where to put this, so it's up top for now. Move it if you think it's necessary. Kendall and I are going to UK in April. He doesn't have ticket/reservation yet but hope to go in late April and perhaps stay thru May. My tickets are for April 16 (land in Heathrow Sat. April 17) and return home on May 25. I WILL be at the Yorkshire gathering. Please, please PM me (or Kendall) if you wil be available during that time for a visit. I don't have my itinerary in stone yet. We are thinking about doing a hire car. Kendall will drive, I won't drive on the 'wrong' side of the road. Tentative: April 17--Land in London 12:45 PM. Micca/catsPHiddle pick me up. Go to Micca's house and meet with Leadfingers(maybe). April 18--rest April 19, Monday--Leadfingers collects me from Micca's and we head to Cornwall/Tintagel, stopping at Glastonbury Tor and Stonehenge on the way. Don't know how long this will take. Return to London, travel about UK meeting Catters. Go with catsPHiddle to Ireland for a few days. Return to Manchester, travel some more. Arrive in Yorkshire for the Gather. Return to London with Micca/cats. Depart London May 25. I will be looking at the map and talking to Micca about the route, and then PMing some of you. Open to suggestions. All Kendall knows is that he IS going over in April and probably hiring a car. He doesn't have dates yet. Have tickets, have passport, "I'm on my waaaaaay, I'm on my way..." |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Dave Bryant Date: 19 Jan 04 - 04:47 AM Linda (Essex Girl) and I should be a able to see you while you're at Micca's - we only live across the river. I know you'll need some rest, but it would be great if we could arrange a chance to meet up for a drink before Terry drags you off to the West Country. We are both planning to go to the Eurogathering May 1-3 if that's the one you're referring to - it's actually in North Lincolnshire which is the other side of the Humber from Yorkshire. If you're in London on a Tuesday night (after you've got back from the West Country) you ought to try and make Sharp's folk club (at Cecil Sharp House) it's a fun club and you'll usually find Tom Paley and some others from your side of the Atlantic there. We could offer accommodation if you don't mind sleeping in the caravan which is parked in the drive. Looking forward to meeting you. |

I'm going to fly in to Birmingham and Noreen will pick me up. We are going to the National Festival of England. Then I don't know where I'll be going or what I'll be doing until Easter weekend when we are going to the Lancaster Easter Maritime Festival. No other specific plans yet but some ideas. Gee Kendall, I wish you were going to be there earlier, but it will be fun to swap stories after you get back. Have a wonderful time. Sorcha, I'm sorry I won't get to meet you. Hey, Morticia, do you have room for me one night? Where are you anyway? Dave Bryant, thanks for the tip about Tuesday's at the Cecil Sharp House. I do want to go there to visit the Vaughn Williams Library so I'll definitely plan to do it on a Tuesday. |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: SINSULL Date: 19 Jan 04 - 12:25 PM Some of us have to work for a living. I envy you two! Of course, this means that I will have access to Kendall's boat and can put some finishing feminine touches on her in his absence. Pink plaid curtains and matching racing stripes? Give Theresa and Carole a hug from me. If you can fit them in your suitcase, bring them back with you. |

It was bad enough that those local nuts passed us on the wrong side, but, IN A CAR WASH?? I talked to my girls and they don't have a problem with me seeing my birthday in Old Blighty.

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Peg Date: 19 Jan 04 - 02:18 PM ooh, I am jealous!I am slated to go back to the UK in early August. maybe before that if I can manageit... If you're going to Stonehenge, may I suggest staying in Salisbury (a lovely town with a grand cathedral) and doing a daytrip to Avebury. Much cooler than Stonehenge, in many ways. The Red Lion pub and inn is very nice and right there. Glastonbury is worth a couple days, too. Nearby Wells also has a lovely cathedral. Stay at the Pilgrims B&B in Norbins Road with Koko Newport (a friend of mine). Good pub to eat at: the Who'd a Thought it. Colorful local (non-tourist) pub; The King Arthur on St. George St. Climb the Tor well before Sunset, lovely views. Oxford is also a gorgeous city and only an hour from London by train or coach. (You could rent your car there). |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Midchuck Date: 19 Jan 04 - 02:56 PM The other strange thing about Great Britain, other than everyone driving in the wrong direction, is finding that all the towns used in the first line of every dirty limerick ever written actually exist!

I am in Stratford-upon-Avon, which not only has Shakespeare to boast of but is on the edge of some lovely Cotswold countryside. Just PM me to let me know when you can stay. We have some great folk clubs, music sessions and song sessions too! Hey, Karen I only live about 40 miles from Noreen's new address, so there is no excuse for you not to say hello to me, even though I shall see you at the National Folk Festival (probably) and at Lancaster Maritime Festival (definitely).

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: kendall Date: 19 Jan 04 - 05:55 PM I'm rethinking this. There is no way I can bring enough camping gear on a plane. In my later years I have become a real hedonist, and I don't like to stray too far from a proper bed and shower! |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Herga Kitty Date: 19 Jan 04 - 06:07 PM Sorcha I've started a thread on the English National Festival at Sutton Bonington (near Leicester) - it's the last weekend in March, so I guess you won't be able to make it, though you'd have a brilliant time if you could. The location is part of the Nottingham University campus (School of Agriculture) so it's student accommodation. Kitty |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Dave the Gnome Date: 19 Jan 04 - 06:13 PM Plenty B&B's for those (Hopefully few!) nights your are without a fellow 'catters roof! Some not much more than camping fees if you go out of the cities. Just noticed the mention of flying back to Manchester - We can always find a corner for one or both here at Chez Gnome. The missus has got used to all sorts of waifs and strays by now;-) Out of interest - I will be following you 2 days later - Flying to Chicago on the 27th:-) Cheers DtG |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: alanww Date: 19 Jan 04 - 08:08 PM Sorcha, if you are still looking for events, I imagine that there should be Kathy Wallis & Jon Heslop's folk weekend on the second weekend in May (presumably on 14-16) at the Fox & Hounds, near Bridestowe, Oakhampton, Devon EX20 4HF. That is, if it is the same as previous years! I haven't been able to go for a couple of years myself but I recall it being a beautiful setting and a wonderful weekend of singing! I haven't seen a flier yet but the telephone number of the pub is 01822 820206. Can anyone confirm the details? I may go myself but its a bit early to commit as yet! Alternatively, on 14-16 May there is the Wheaton Aston Festival, which is in Staffordshire ... You should also have a look at the fRoots listings site for future festivals (but those beyond February 2004 have yet to be put up!) Look forward to seeing you! "... for to rob and to plunder, it is our intent!" Alan |

I will definitely make plans to see you. I want to go back to the Teddy Bear store that I saw briefly when I was in Stratford-on-Avon in 1989. I'm assuming it is still there. Glad you'll be in Lancaster. Hope you come to the National, too. I can't wait. Kendall and Sorcha - Sorry to jump in on your thread. I should probably start my own. k |

From: Catherine Jayne Date: 20 Jan 04 - 03:20 AM Kendall......you don't need to bring camping gear....there are plenty of UK catters that have spare sleeping bags and tent space!!!..... Sorcha's Itinary so far........... Tentative: April 17--Land in London 12:45 PM. Micca/catsPHiddle pick me up. Go to Micca's house and meet with Leadfingers(maybe). April 18--rest April 19, Monday--Leadfingers collects me from Micca's and we head to Cornwall/Tintagel, stopping at Glastonbury Tor and Stonehenge on the way. Hastings May 1-3, for Beltaine, so will most likely miss the Euro Gather in Hull. Sorry. Don't know how long this will take. Return to London, travel about UK meeting Catters. Go with catsPHiddle to Ireland for a few days. Return to Manchester, travel some more. Arrive in Yorkshire for the Gather. Return to London with Micca/cats. Depart London May 25. |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Dave Bryant Date: 20 Jan 04 - 04:42 AM Bill\Sables - your posting worries me. Down here in the South, we can be excused for not having a detailed knowledge of the geography of the northern regions, but here we have you, a Yorkshire man, claiming that part of north Lincolnshire is in his county. Is this yorkish expansionism ? Will the good folks south of the Humber wake one morning to see the landing craft coming out of the mist, like that scene in "The Longest Day" ? |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Bassic Date: 20 Jan 04 - 05:31 AM Try the fRoots link for festivals while you are here. Although at the moment it only goes up to February, all last years events are listed and if you spot something from last year you like the look of then the event will probably be on a similar date this year. Use last years links to get to the various festivals web sites which will probably have this years information available now. Then get out a map and start planning! :-) It would be great to get you both up to the Hull area say for a week before the Yorkshire Gathering. Sure we could find plenty to keep you (either or both) occupied for the week and I am fairly certain that accomodation will be sortable (75% certain I could accomodate you myself). Would be happy to try to organise and take you up for a few days in Scotland if you can get here though would need help from a few Scots `catters for Music events/itinery when there. Sorry I cant make more precise offers but my personal circumstances are likely to be in a state of change for the next few months. (Job/where I live etc). As for traveling times, distances etc, Hull is about 200 miles due North of London and is a very comfortable 4 to 4 and a half hour drive (as is the rest of Yorkshire/Manchester area)with a couple of coffee breaks on the way. You could get to most places in England from London comfortably within a days drive and southern Scotland is about the same. Edinborough is about half a days drive from Hull, or a full days drive from London. Most places on the South coast are between 1 and 3 hours drive from London if you avoid busy periods with the West Country (Devon Cornwall Dorset Summerset) being another 1-3 hours further than that. The midlands ( Birmingham/Oxford/Stratford) are mostly under 2 hours away from London. These are all very aproximate times but should give you a guide. |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Leadfingers Date: 20 Jan 04 - 06:19 AM And I have Sorcha all to myself for most of a week ! I am not sure wether either of us will survive. Any West Country Catters can find us in Somerset on the 20th and at the Wednesday session in Boscastle on the 21st and then heading back East on Thursday with a probable detour into the Pricipality to look at Cardiff Castle (Dont Ask Me- its Sorchas Holiday). |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Dave Bryant Date: 20 Jan 04 - 06:24 AM Khat - you're not planning to keep Sorcha all to yourself over that first weekend are you ? What about an outing to that pub just round the corner from you - or Linda and I would be quite happy to provide transport to anywhere (even south of the river). Where is Sorcha landing - if it's Heathrow, then it would probably make more sense for Leadfingers to pick her up as he lives fairly near the airport. If it's Gatwick - then we'd be willing to. As She's a fiddler, the session at "The Cricketers" Greenwich might be an idea if she's around you way on a later Tuesday evening. |

From: Trevor Date: 20 Jan 04 - 06:24 AM Karen K, we must see if we can get No to drag you over Squilver way, and Sorcha and Kendall, if you want to see the MOST beautiful part of England (gorgeous Shropshire) it won't be too much of a detour. Lots of music in some truly wonderful settings, and a house if you want it. Let me know. |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: alanww Date: 20 Jan 04 - 06:42 AM Hey Sorcha & Kendall If you are in the UK on 23 April it is, of course, St George's Day (the Patron Saint of England!), which is also the birthday of Shakespeare. On Friday 23 April there will be a great evening in the village of Brailes 10 miles south of Stratford-upon-Avon, where I live. First the Ilmington and the Adderbury Village Morris Men will dance outside the St George's Church and at the local pub, the George Inn. Then there is a great music and singing session in the pub with copious amounts of Hook Norton beer being drunk and at some point the Shakespeare Mummers will perform the St George and Dragons Mummers Play, with Snuffy and myself in star roles!! Then on 24 April, which is the nearest Saturday to Shakespeare's Birthday, there is an enormous procession in the town of Stratford-upon-Avon at the Shakespeare's Birthday Celebrations, with much dancing and street acting. A special event indeed ... and the Shakespeare Morris Men will be both in the procession and dancing around the town - again featuring Snuffy and myself! You would be very welcome to stay with me. "T'was on one April morning ...!" Alan |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: kendall Date: 20 Jan 04 - 09:20 AM I expect to be roughly on the same schedule as Sorcha. I've been checking out motorhomes, 425 pounds for a weekend. Too steep. Now, this gathering in Yorkshire, what is the name of the town? I found two "Black Dogs" in two different towns. Which one should I book a room in? |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Bassic Date: 20 Jan 04 - 11:35 AM This firm hires 3 berth Motorhomes for about £440 a week kendall. The VAT refered to is at 17.5% and the price quoted on the web site is from 3 years ago but think it should still work out not much more than £500-£550 a week. Obviously an email to them to check current rates is advisable. http://www.agm-apollo.co.uk/ This company also has simmilar rates for 2-4 berths http://www.elite-motorhomes.co.uk/rates.htm This company seem to offer a lot of Caravan for £550 a week. http://www.gm-motorhomes.co.uk/fourberth.htm as do these people at £520 http://www.home-n-away.com/ This company also look like they may be worth an email and they are close to Heathrow. http://www.leighway.fsnet.co.uk/ This company are more expensive but give a second week free http://www.rdh.co.uk/tariffs.htm Others worth a look are http://www.vivanti.co.uk/holidays.htm http://www.westcountry-motorhomes.co.uk/rental_v1.htm Hope this gives you a few more options. |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: kendall Date: 21 Jan 04 - 01:21 PM The motorhome is out of the question, and I have no way to pull a caravan.

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Les from Hull Date: 21 Jan 04 - 02:57 PM I'll second Bassic in offering fun and accommodation in Hull. I give cheap tours of the historic part of Hull (rough price 1 pint of Guinness) and am available most of the time since I don't have to go out to work or anything silly like that. If you want to make arrangements with Bassic and/or me just let us know what you want. And Dave Bryant - how could you call Bill a Yorkshireman? He's a man that lives in Yorkshire but that doesn't make him a Yorkshireman. We don't give that title away easily. Besides he's got a richly cultural regional background of his own.

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: kendall Date: 21 Jan 04 - 04:12 PM I will be riding to Yorkshire for the festival at the Black Dog with Morticia, but as far as I know, I'll be going back with her to Aldershot. After that, I'm loose. |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: alanww Date: 21 Jan 04 - 08:24 PM Hi again Sorcha & Kendall I am still offering a great time on Fri 23 and Sat 24 April (as detailed below). It has traditional morris dancing by sides from the traditional morris villages of Ilmington and Adderbury, a traditional mummers play and traditional English music and singing - all on St George's Day. And there is a chance to see Stratford-upon-Avon and experience the Shakespeare Birthday Celebrations! Wow! And you could meet the amazing Snuffy, which is a treat in its own right! As I am early-retired myself I could then deliver you somewhere else in the country on Sun 25 or Mon 26 April if that helps. Why delay? Book soon while places are still available! Write off today with your deposit! And remember - satisfaction is guaranteed, with your money being refunded if you are not completely happy! And there will be a free CD if you recommend us to a friend! "All for to hear the small birds sing ...!" Alan PS I am not overselling this, am I? |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: alanww Date: 23 Jan 04 - 02:57 PM Its a shame you can't fit in a visis to Stratford-upon-Avon, Sorcha, but never mind - I am sure you will have a great time anyway. And I look forward to seeing you at the Yorkshire Gathering, if not elsewhere. Enjoy! Brill that you might be able to make it, Kendall! But I understand that you can't confirm anything until you have got your whole time sorted out. Let me know when you have. If I you can get to me on Thursday 22 April too, or I can pick you up from wherever that day, there is a great music and singing session at the Fleece Inn at Bretforton in Worcestershire, which is only 25 minutes away. You can never tell exactly who will turn up or what the balance of singing and music will be but its a fantastic place to visit and the beer is great too, with 5 different real ales and a real scrumpy cider! Snuffy and I were both their last night, along with 20+ other musicians/singers, but we decided to call it a day at 1.30 am! "Abroad for pleasure as I was a-walking ...!" Alan |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: kendall Date: 23 Jan 04 - 03:13 PM My only concern with your pubs is the smoke. I'll have plenty of time to do all kinds of things, so The Bard's home is a go. |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Sorcha Date: 23 Jan 04 - 10:21 PM This is still rather tentative, depending on PM's and contact with the persons ivolved. It will be a bit before the Ireland (maybe Manchester) trip is resolved. Here's what I have at the mo... 17 April--arrive Heath. 12:45 PM 17 April—Pub Night in London, Black Lion (which Black Lion I don't know) 19 April--leave for Cornwall 23 Arpil--arrive back in London, pub, make sure all 'near London-ers' know...like Reading, etc. 27 April--Sharp House 30 April--leave for Hastings 1-3 May--Hastings 3 or 4 May--Sussex to see Carole and rumanci, stop in Epsom on way back 5 May--return London, do the London thing. Tower,etc 7 or 8 May--maybe leave for Ireland, back on 9 or 10 May by way of Manchester area, stay over 1 day 14 May--Leave for Hull (might have to train this leg),stay with Bassic or Les 18 May—Go to Norwich to see Freemans (ride from Bassic I think) 20 May—session in Norwich w/Jon 21 May—Pip takes me to Selby for Yorks Ride train back to London with Micca/Khatt Busy busy busy.... At this point, I don't know if I left anything out. If you are on the Itinerary, please, please PM or e mail me....thanks! |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Sorcha Date: 24 Jan 04 - 12:46 AM Kendall and I MAY be sharing the cost of a hire car for some of this....don't know for sure yet. Waiting for answers.... |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: GUEST,Jon Date: 24 Jan 04 - 04:32 AM Sorcha, I think Pip has PMed you on the Annexe. Nice to hear that it seems as if you are going to mangage to visit us. We are actually in Roughton, near Cromer - about 20-25 miles N of Norwich. If you have the time and nothing else on on one of the days it looks like you will be here, maybe you would like a daytime (the session is also in Norwich) trip into the city. There is the Castle/Museum and the Cathedral for starters if you like that sort of thing. A little bit on Norwich here if you are interested. |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: alanww Date: 24 Jan 04 - 06:20 AM Kendall Yes, I don't like the smoke either, particularly when I am singing. The joy of the pewter room in the Fleece Inn, which is a National Trust property and which goes back to the 15th century at least, is that it is a non smoking room! There is plenty to see in terms of Shakespeare, in addition to the town itself, there is the Theatre and the Shakespeare Trust properties. there are lots of websites to lokk at, including: stratford-upon-avon.co.uk, stratford.co.uk and rsc.org.uk. Anyway, speak to you further when you have sorted your programme! "In the years long ago, when I first left my home ...!" Alan |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: kendall Date: 24 Jan 04 - 08:32 AM I am very interested in the history of the UK, and, although I also enjoy to "pop into a pub for a bit of a piss up" I would prefer to not spend a lot of time that way. (Unless I get pissed, then, I love it)LOL |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: SINSULL Date: 24 Jan 04 - 10:48 AM If you two get to meet Jon Freeman, give him a hug for me. And PIP too. So any updated plans, Kendall? |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: kendall Date: 24 Jan 04 - 11:39 AM I arrive at Heathrow 7:30 am on 14 April. Stay with Micca for a couple of days, go to Morticia's. Might hire a car and go exploring, Will be at the Yorkshire gathering, leave London 25 of May. Everything else is tentative. Alanww has offered to take me to see Shakesperes home, and I would like to see Hastings where my ancestors arrived with Wm. The Conquror in 1066. Until then, everytime I exhale , I'm going to inhale and count the days. |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: kendall Date: 25 Jan 04 - 12:33 PM I'm toying with the idea of hiring a car, and driving to Scotland, then meet everyone in Yorkshire. |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Peg Date: 25 Jan 04 - 12:51 PM damn I'm jealous! Scotland is beautiful, you'll love the scenery. Try to drive through Alnwick in the Borders region on your way north; gorgeous small town built around an old castle set amidst the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen...not far from the sea side coast either. |

|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Menolly Date: 25 Jan 04 - 02:51 PM Kendall - can I suggest that if you are interested in history, you really should visit the pubs! Castles and stately home were only the wealthy and their servants, but in most places the oldest buildings that you can look at inside and out are the churches and the pubs, and the pubs have better opening hours! In my village the church is only 19th C but the pub is 17th Century! |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: kendall Date: 25 Jan 04 - 08:43 PM I have visited some old churches and pubs. Gannowood House by Keith for instance. |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Dave Bryant Date: 26 Jan 04 - 06:52 AM Kendall - so you're arriving at Micca's on the Wednesday after Easter - hope to get a chance to see you before you go off on your travels - Linda and I only live over the river. |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: kendall Date: 26 Jan 04 - 10:33 AM Sinsull, I hope you don't tell everything you know, they won't let me leave England |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Dave Bryant Date: 26 Jan 04 - 10:35 AM Oh dear does that mean that we're going to be forced to go to "The Black Lion" twice that week ? Sill I think we will be willing to make this sacrifice in honour of our visitors. It would be nice if we copuld organise somewhere to sing/play though, as I remember it the aforesaid drinking hole doesn't really permit this. I'll have a think about any other musical venues - after all Linda and I have a car each. |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Catherine Jayne Date: 26 Jan 04 - 10:37 AM I don't think the pub will have a problem if we ask first. I don't want have to travel far....finances..well lack of them, and health etc.....will get intouch with the pub and see what they say. |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Leadfingers Date: 26 Jan 04 - 11:16 AM I could possibly be inveigled into an excursion across London IF there is going to be a decent session.

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: kendall Date: 26 Jan 04 - 01:00 PM If I can find a place to sleep! Apparently, the British tourist board has never heard of either Boscastle or Tintangle. |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Dave Bryant Date: 07 Apr 04 - 05:52 AM So what are the plans for seeing our transatlantic guests ? Are we goung to have a session at "The Black Lion". I'm sorry, but after Ms Avril Betts visit to "The Dog and Lamp-post", I don't think that we'll be welcome back. Jaqui - are you now mobile ? or will you and Kendall need transporting to the beautiful english village of Plaistow - that's if you can finf the time to get away from your bedtime rituals :-)) Linda and I will be getting back from Miskin on Monday and we should be free until Friday when Linda has to go to a party in Margate - An Anne Summers one ! |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 07 Apr 04 - 06:00 AM Jaqui, you are not a beer drinker, but Kendal might like to sample the local brews. He should be escorted to The White Horse, and The Woodman at the very least. Keith. |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: jacqui.c Date: 07 Apr 04 - 06:48 AM Looks like I'll get Kendall for a couple of days and then drop him in Aldershot for the weekend. After that - who knows? We've got tickets for the Royal Abert Hall on Thursday but he will get the guided tour of the locality at some point - possibly if he's not suffering too much from jet lag on Wednesday. Keith - if possible do you want to meet up? Dave - Micca told me about the Black Lion - I drove to Plaistow yesterday so I will be trying to make the Sunday night session after the afternoon session at the White Horse (and I'm supposed to be convalescing?) Will talk to Kendall about further plans when he gets here. |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Dave Bryant Date: 07 Apr 04 - 07:07 AM When are Kendall and Sorcha each arriving ? |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Dipsodeb Date: 07 Apr 04 - 07:57 AM It looks like you guys are going to be really busy but another couple of suggestions for your itinerary when you visit Cornwall are to go to the witch museum at Boscastle, it's a facinating way to spend an hour or two and a very beautiful place. Also between Tintagel and Boscastle there is an exceptionally beautiful and spiritual place called St Nectan's Glen it's a bit of a trek through a forest path running alongside a stream eventually ending at a stunning waterfallhttp://www.stnectan.currantbun.com/ Hope the clicky thing works. Anyway it's stunning and very restorative which it sounds like you might need it after all your travels. The farm that I am hoping to move to is only about 20 minutes away if I'm there by then, you would be more than welcome to stay over. I can back Hawker with the suggestion of Bideford Folk Club I went there a couple of weeks ago when I went down to look for property it was a great night and very friendly. Have a great time. ~Debs~ |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Leadfingers Date: 07 Apr 04 - 08:31 AM Dipsodeb - Witchcraft museum is defiantely on the itinery as the owner is an okd mate (AND a part time folkie) so we will have all the local info from him. But Thanks anyway for the thought. |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: kendall Date: 07 Apr 04 - 08:32 AM I'll be arriving on Wednesday 14 April at 7:30 am I'm up for meeting as many 'catters as time allows. |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Leadfingers Date: 23 Apr 04 - 05:27 PM Latest Update as I am now home and released from Chuffering duties! Following a superb session in the Black Lion on Sunday , we eventually stopped nattering and tried to get some sleep at Micca and Cats place. Monday am I was out far too early as a neighbour couldnt be bothered to read the note on my jalopy saying where I was and just sat there blowing his bloody horn til I moved my heap out of his way! Nice drive down to Stonehenge in FILTHY weather , and had a quick look then on to Avebury for a slightly slower look - NO seven pounds fifty admission at Avebury - then on to Darkest Somerset , staying with friends (Not Catters) . Tuesday was Glastonbury , The Abbey , The Chalice Well (TOTAL Tranquility in a lovely garden) and most of the way up the Tor . Sadly Vertigo and strong winds precluded getting all the way up . Tuesday night was a Bijou Bashette in the Carrisbrook in Compton Dundon with my old mate from 'No Turn Unstoned' Wednesday a liesurely drive through even MORE rain acroos Exmoor with a quick look in at Linmouth , then on to Tintagel in much brighter weather - The handrails helped despite the steepness of the steps and we got to the top of the Castle , before heading back up to Boscastle. Had an excellent Pizza in the Cobweb and then adjourned to the Wellie for the session there . Some lovely singers in Boscastle by the way! Did our tour of the Museum of Witchcraft Thursday before heading across to Torrington where we were made very welcome by the ladies at the Visitors centre , who received Torrington Wyoming pheasant badges from Sorcha and agreed they ought to do a Cavalier badge for Torrington Devon. On to Motorways then for the run up to Cardiff where we met Sian , Splottman and Nigel Parsons - A shame we missed Gareth - Cant work out how ! Crashed out at Sian's place in Carmarthen , then a nice easy two hundred mile drive to Windsor so Sorcha could at least SEE the castle though only from the outside. Then an easy drive all the way round the M25 to drop her off in Plaistow , a quick coffee and then drive all the way back round to get home just after The Archers finished. Furter instalments and embellishments will no doubt be following from who ever gets Sorch next . But thats the first week sorted out any way . |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall in UK! From: Uncle Jaque Date: 24 Apr 04 - 08:58 PM A dear friend and fellow Folkie from Deutchland (Germany) who used to post on the Cat (hasn't for a while) has been on "Holiday" in England for the past couple of weeks and I was hoping that she might bump into Kendall somewhere along the way, although it's certainly a really looooong shot. If it happens I would strongly suspect providencial intervention of some sort. Got a lovely postcard from Kent last week - Maddie and her sidekick are having a blast over there! Have a safe trip back home, y'all! |
