Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: jacqui.c Date: 17 Apr 04 - 04:07 PM Kendall here, We didn't go to the Albert Hall, much too tired. But, we did got to a local session at the Great Eastern Pub in Hertfor Yesterday, we went to Stonehenge, today we went to Glastonbury, Avebury and Camelot. Jacqui here Thursday we went local to Hatfield House - to show Kendall that what we call 'ancient' is well over 200 years old (well, most of the other visitors were!) At the moment Kendall is trying to tune up my other guitar but there's a screw loose in my G string and we can't find it - looks like a fun evening!!! |

Someone said once that the British and Americans differ, inter alia, in that Americans think a hundred years is a long time, and the British think a hundred miles is a long distance. P. |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Stilly River Sage Date: 17 Apr 04 - 04:57 PM a loose screw and a g-string sounds like Kendall is having fun, anyway! |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: fiddler Date: 17 Apr 04 - 05:53 PM WELCOME - Hope to make tomorrow evening!!! A X |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Mrs.Duck Date: 17 Apr 04 - 06:09 PM Well, Kendall my son has been down in Wiltshire this last few days visiting Stonehenge, Avebury and other such so if you saw a very tall thin boy (6' 5") it was him! |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Lanfranc Date: 17 Apr 04 - 06:53 PM Looks like being a full house tomorrow at the Black Lion! Lady Lanfranc and I hope to be there, if we survive helping out the rescue crew at a sailboat race during the day - which looks like being both wet and windy. Soggy footprints heading for the bar will indicate that we have arrived! Alan |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Catherine Jayne Date: 17 Apr 04 - 11:22 PM Wow!!! Look forward to seeing you all. Fiddler....we will phone you with directions!! |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: jacqui.c Date: 18 Apr 04 - 02:29 AM Kendgall here - we had a good night's sleep and are raring to go. Keep stirring the pot! Jacqui here - I'm just going to feed him breakfast and a roast dinner to satisfy the inner man and then it's practice with that banjo (sweet music!) ready for tonight. |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: John MacKenzie Date: 18 Apr 04 - 05:14 AM Megan!! That was unkind. John |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: jimmyt Date: 18 Apr 04 - 09:34 AM SOunds like everything is going about normal for a couple of colonists off to meet their ENglish cousins! Nigel, also, the $10,000 bill was another American currency with a non-president, Salmon P Chase, secretary of the Treasury in 1863. I don't have cause to see many of these bills. |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: jacqui.c Date: 18 Apr 04 - 10:58 AM I don't think anything over 100 is in circulation anymore. |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Mrs.Duck Date: 18 Apr 04 - 12:20 PM What not even Kendall??:0)) |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 18 Apr 04 - 12:52 PM Have a good time tonight Kendall. Enjoyed the select little seesion at the White Horse. Come back soon, Keith(not the man I thought I used to be either!). |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Megan L Date: 18 Apr 04 - 02:41 PM my apologies john it was a lightly barbed hit at anyone who thinks the world ends at watford. |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Peace Date: 18 Apr 04 - 02:45 PM Bush will appear on the three-dollar bill. How apt. |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Liz the Squeak Date: 18 Apr 04 - 08:45 PM It was wonderful to meet both Kendall (at whose feet I fell!) and Sorcha - the evening at the Black Lion was so good, the landlord has asked for more! Kendall is one mean banjo player - and that's from someone who dislikes the banjo slightly less than the melodeon! Sorcha on the fiddle was amazing - interesting to hear the American slant on some familiar tunes. I hope the rest of the trip is as much fun as this evening was! LTS |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: katlaughing Date: 18 Apr 04 - 08:59 PM Thanks to all for posting. It so fun to hear of the *peregrinations* of our countrypersons.**bg** Ya'll take care of 'em, ya hear? luvyakat |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Liz the Squeak Date: 18 Apr 04 - 09:06 PM If they continue to perigrinate like they did this evening, we may have to arrange for some sort of extradition order....... LTS |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Catherine Jayne Date: 18 Apr 04 - 09:28 PM The session was wonderful and as Liz said the landlord wants us back!! So there will be a session in the Black Lion on Sunday 25th April from 7:30pm. It was absolutely grand to see so many catters turn up to meet our American friends. After the session a number of us came back to our place and continued conversations and drinking! Pictures have been taken and will be posted soon!! Tanks again to all of you for coming. |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: MMario Date: 18 Apr 04 - 09:31 PM extradition or deportation? |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: John MacKenzie Date: 19 Apr 04 - 04:26 AM Ah Megan if only they realised that when heading north from the effete southern bits, the world BEGINS north of MK. Somewhere about Stoney Stratford according to The One and only Dai, wherever he is these days. John |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: GUEST,alanww Date: 19 Apr 04 - 07:38 AM Have a great time, Sorcha & Kendall! Pity you couldn't fit in a trip to Stratford-upon-Avon but, never mind, there will be another time, I hope! Hope to see you both at the Yorkshire Gathering 2004! "Abroad for pleasure ...!" Alan |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Charley Noble Date: 19 Apr 04 - 09:45 AM More details! Someone should be able to fill in what the evening at the Black Lion was really like, other than "wonderful." Take good care of our friends. Remember, they also need their sleep. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Dave Bryant Date: 19 Apr 04 - 11:57 AM It was just a fun, sociable, little pub session - with songs and music. Look at the piccies on the other thread Charlie. |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: GUEST Date: 19 Apr 04 - 11:59 AM The big Question is "who is Britain" and "why are they BOTH doing her?" |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Big Mick Date: 19 Apr 04 - 12:24 PM Loved the pictures of so many old friends, some met and some (as yet) unmet. Sure wish I was there. Mick |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Charley Noble Date: 19 Apr 04 - 12:47 PM Dave- Thanks for the link to the vitual pub sing at the Lion. The pics are certainly stunning, worth at least 999 words. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: JennyO Date: 19 Apr 04 - 10:22 PM I'm very jealous of Rosie (freda's and my friend). You can be sure we will be picking her brain about you guys when she comes back. As far as I know she isn't a 'catter. Maybe after this she will be! Jenny |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Liz the Squeak Date: 19 Apr 04 - 11:02 PM OI - Big Mick - who you calling Old??? Mrd Duck - I'm sure we'll be happy to repeat the evening at the Gathering next month... substitute Dog for Lion and you've got it! Thinks... could this Sunday evening thing at the Lion become regular and if so, do they have a PEL? LTS |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Nigel Parsons Date: 21 Apr 04 - 07:04 PM See also Sorcha in Cardiff? as a possible meeting if Sorcha gets here. Siân is planning to be in The Conway Thursday 22 April from 8 p.m. & I hope to join her Nigel |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 22 Apr 04 - 06:32 AM So, what's up today? Allison |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Nigel Parsons Date: 26 Apr 04 - 07:20 PM Just a couple of photos @ Photo gallery Nigel |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Dave Bryant Date: 05 May 04 - 05:25 AM Just to say that Linda and I picked up Sorcha from Micca & Khatt last night and took her to the session at "The Cricketers" in Greenwich where she seemed to have a great time. We left her sleeping in the caravan this morning - I think she needed it after Hastings over the weekend. |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: SINSULL Date: 05 May 04 - 01:08 PM And where is Kendall? Have you lost him? |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Donuel Date: 05 May 04 - 01:31 PM This is great vicarious fun |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: jacqui c Date: 05 May 04 - 01:40 PM Kendall is, at present, traversing the Atlantic by way of Halifax. His flight arrives in Boston some time after seven tonight E.S.T. By the time he gets home he's going to be one tired puppy but I think he had a good time. |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Sorcha Date: 05 May 04 - 02:33 PM I M ONW tired puppy, but heving a good time. It was loverly to have a whole day alone. I did laundry, read a book, and took a nap. Going to Emma's tomorrow sometime. Depends on when she can pick me up. Knackered but worth it! |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Liz the Squeak Date: 05 May 04 - 02:40 PM Glad to hear it Sorcha! See you in a couple of weeks! LTS |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: wysiwyg Date: 05 May 04 - 04:27 PM Scorchy, how much longer will you be there? PM if you get a chance, OK? ~Susan |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Dave Bryant Date: 06 May 04 - 04:33 AM Sorcha's due to leave for Chester this afternoon. She was still asleep in the caravan when Linda and I left for work this morning - let's hope that she wakes up in time to catch her train from the local station (Mottingham). She then has to use the tube to get from Charing Cross to Euston, where she picks up her train to Chester. Enjoyed having you staying with us Sorcha - hope to see you again before you go back to the States. |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Sorcha Date: 06 May 04 - 03:45 PM Finally made it to Emma's place near Chester......only got lost on the tube once. Missed my 16:00 connecting train because there were no escalators and I had to woman handle the case up 3 flights of stairs. Caught the next train and arrived an hour late. I was able to call Emma from Crewe to tell her not to abandon me. Doing Chester town tomorrow, then I don't know. I'm having a glorious time. This country is sooooo beautiful and everyone has been just wonderful to this poor lost Yooser! Whizzy, I fly home on May 25. I'll PM you in a bit. I'll be at Emma's place a few days so should be able to pick up your reply. The Hastings Giant thing is fabulous!! Talk about a crick in my neck, LOL! |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: SINSULL Date: 07 May 04 - 11:54 AM Kendall is home and his usual curmudgeonly self. Your security deposit will be returned as promised. I have reluctantly returned Seamus as well. The cats keep looking for him wondering how anything that big could be misplaced. |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: Emma B Date: 07 May 04 - 08:06 PM just back from local session - walked the whole of the Chester City walls today (some bits twice - on pub detour) Sorcha got a kiss on the hand from the Town Crier and we got to see a horse race on the RooDee. Off to Derbyshire tomorrow for a 50th birthday party and Ireland on Monday. |
|
Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: GUEST,Sorcha and Emma B Date: 10 May 04 - 02:37 PM Well here we are in Dublin at the Hostel....lovely day here. I had my first Guinness of the Trip in McDaids pub...and we both raised our glasses to Cap'n Morse for his Birthday. Took pics, too! Happy Birthday, Cap'n! wish you were here! Shopping and leisure tomorrow with a session at the Dun Laoghaire pub tomorrow night. Newgrange on Wed, then back to Chester by way of Holyhead on Thurs. Ceilidh in Sheffield on Friday, then I'm to Hull and Emma gets rid of me. |

Subject: RE: Sorcha and Kendall Do Britain From: YorkshireYankee Date: 10 May 04 - 08:30 PM Ceilidh in Sheffield? I'm in Sheffield...! Details please! (or is it a private affair?) |
