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: kendall Date: 25 Jan 04 - 02:32 PM I've been to Scotland twice before, and I long to go again. Something about past life. I get homesick looking at photos of the highlands. |

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: Catherine Jayne Date: 26 Jan 04 - 07:35 AM Dave...we will have to organise a night in the pub!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: kendall Date: 26 Jan 04 - 08:18 AM Do it! How much bail money will I need? |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: fiddler Date: 26 Jan 04 - 09:56 AM Busy trip - I shall given time I shall adopt human form and may appear in London - let me know which Black lion you are going to! A |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Catherine Jayne Date: 26 Jan 04 - 10:13 AM Its the Black Lion on in Plaistow E13..on the high street |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: SINSULL Date: 26 Jan 04 - 10:23 AM I know that I am dogsitting Seamus but who is taking the llama? Or is she accompanying you, Kendall. Really ought to warn Morty. Micca probably won't even notice as long as she doesn't christen his jacket. |
|
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. I will even put up with Dave Bryant !!! Keep us posted please. And Wednesday the 21st we should be at the Session in Boscastle. Thats Myself Sorcha AND Kendall. |
|
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: fiddler Date: 27 Jan 04 - 03:35 AM Kendal, The best information about tourist sites is usually not the tourist board! sorry I'm a cynic at times Try This it may or may not be useful! A |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Dave Bryant Date: 27 Jan 04 - 06:57 AM I might even be willing to put up with the illustrious Mr Silver - mind you Khat - do you think that there's enough room in the Black Lion for a guitar, banjo, mandolin and all of Leadfinger's whistles ? :-) |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Catherine Jayne Date: 27 Jan 04 - 07:21 AM LOL!!! Don't quite know about that!!! |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: kendall Date: 27 Jan 04 - 08:00 AM That is a good site, thanks. |

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: Dave Bryant Date: 07 Apr 04 - 09:23 AM Is Jacqui picking you up, or do you need a lift Kendall, and if so where from ? I work in West London, so Heathrow is that far to drive, neither for that matter is Gatwick, |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: Dave Bryant Date: 07 Apr 04 - 12:12 PM Jacqui's told me that we mustn't bring Avril in case she causes too much strain on Kendall's ticker - personally, I think she's scared of the competition :-)) |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall to UK! For Real! From: kendall Date: 07 Apr 04 - 08:29 PM When you first mentioned this, Avril, I thought I wonder if it's the same Avril who tried to beat me out of my fee of 50 quid in Kinross Scotland. Then, I realized it was a put on. |

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 . |
