Sounds good to me Mary, the most important thing to bring is yourself. See you Friday.

Well, it's a small bottle of a bourbon called "Virginia Gentleman". I don't know much about bourbon myself but it's what a lot of people drink around here.

Make that two bottles, or two bottles of George Dickel 12, and I will happily pay whatever it costs, it is my preferred tipple, and I can't buy it here. Only joking Mary; yes a bottle of something like that would go down well for the Mudcat raffle.

Have a Fiesta booked from there so anyone in need of a lift let us know. Return flight on Monday late morning. Sadly my 2 mates that were coming are now doubtful, hense the switch from ferry to air.

Eric, you will be missed. I was hoping to hear - and learn - that rude song you do ("which one?", sez he). You make sure Freja hits the big time and looks after you in your old and decrepit age!
It's a pity there's people wot can't make it. Who the hell is going to lead us in Sarf Australia if the fragrant lard meister ain't there either?

My mates from Bristol will have to dress up as the missing Catters. They're already slightly bemused because when they phoned the hostel they were given the names of a pile of people they'd never heard of before. They don't quite know what to expect, except for my long-suffering beloved who has been to Portaferry and has been made to set dance, and has been subjected to entire mp3 players full of fiddle tunes. I'm suprised he's agreed to go!

Hello All.

After a long silence, it comes as no suprise to know I won't be able to make it.Though I'd dearly love to be there. Many other factors have come into play this past year, such as number 1 daughter getting more and more TV work, having more and more performing arts classes, rehearsals etc. This has two effects; firstly monetary. Freja is talented and needs all the help a parent should be able to give at what ever the cost.Secondly, time... the number of nights and evenings and now days spent being taxi driver to and fro leave little time for other things, especially if Dawn is working on a different set in a different area. The above and the trip to ride the roller coasters the week after means it is impossible to be with you................. so

Fibs and Bassic, have a wonderful birthday celebration between you. My best wishes to all of you and have a really great time.

Cheers

Gorgeous sunny day here in Virginia. Only a light jacket is needed.

You need a light jacket although the sun is shining? Is the sun dark in Virginia? ;-)

a warm Scotsman - ein warmer Schotte? You know the second meaning of "warm" in German?


Btw, will there be a raffle?

Hi Mary,

You won't need a coat or a fire to keep you warm after five or six hours in Dumigan's (or Fiddler's) with 30+ musicians playing away!

Peace

Russia has cut supplies to Bosnia (still -10C) as it hits -30C in Moscow. Very mild here in Sherwood Forest today - but an east wind would soon change that! Whatever - there will certainly be roaring fires in the Portaferry bars.

I am from Virginia where it does get kind of cold sometimes but the skies are generally sunny and bright. I was kidding, guys, I know it's going to be cold and probably wet in Northern Ireland in February, and a lot of my friends think I'm nuts for going at such a time (they mostly head the other way - towards the Caribbean Islands or Mexico, and would only think of going to Ireland in Spring or Summer). But I am hoping Barholm is well heated and that there will be nice roaring fireplaces in some of the pubs. I have been in Scotland in February and am figuring N.I. would be much the same, climatewise at that time of year. Even though I'm a born and bred southern girl, I think I can handle it.

Fibs, Portaferry in Feb will be a model of temperate moderation! But I've just had a call from a guy in Fairbanks, and it's freezing there - the sun's still not quite making it up to the horizon. And it was ten below zero (celsius) in Banja Luka last Monday. We don't know we're born.... (Where you from, Maryrrf? Not Maine or some such, by any chance?)

Letty, teach me a tune for my birthday. I haven't picked up the fiddle in months and months. I'm trying to get back into it sloooooowly, but illness, work and dancing distracted me somewhat.
