If it is a beer bucket, empty it first (into the carrier) and the sound will appear to improve.

Brian Rodgers (of No Worries" alleges that his 12V will freeze a mushroom in the body of the fridge in an hour.

My mains and gas will only gain about 15 degrees over the outside air even if flat out, so no use once the outside air goes over 22 degrees. OK in winter, but I don't caravan much then....

That damned fridge has got to be sorted!

Be assured of a warm welcome Malc. The ancient art of audienting is in danger of dying out and it really is about due for a revival of its own. Feel free to come along to Miskin and practice to your hearts content. You will be able to audient at song and music of course but you might try a burst of Storytelling but beware of the urge to participate , this would go against the ethic of a true audient.
I cannot guarantee complete immunity to the joining in disease as the night gets older though. Voices improve as the ears get tired I believe. Or it might be the result of too many visits to the room on the end where we dispense the throat ointment.
You just come along here, 'twill be right good fun.

re: Fridge - the 12v is only supposed to keep the frodge cool, during towing between home and site, once you have brought the temperature down using Mains or Gas. one on site you should revert to Mains or Gas.

General question, is this 'little' gathering open to all comers or does one have to be able to perform? honestly I cannot carry a tune in a bucket and only sing when someone wants the room cleared. I am sure I could manage the Cheese and Port session without too much trouble though. >:o)

Oh by the way there is also "singing and dancing" at Miskin.
The Miskinfolk website 07 is now open for your delight. It is still in its early stages so only the basic information is on there at the moment, this will grow over the next few days. Don't bother reporting webtype errors yet Tobes and I are still tweaking it. If there are factual errors or you see you are booked when you shouldn't be!!! best let me know, have fun.

I thought Miskin was all about music and singing. Seems I missed something last time. Obviously there's an undergorund movement afloat. (Sorry, underwater movement abroad)

Andy your Lasange. Is that as close as you get to some cheese?

See if I can get hold of some Cabrales to bring along. My passport into the, "Secret Cheese Society".

I managed the Bombadier. Oh and the, "Black Rat" cider. Cor that waaaaas Good!

Managed lots of the music and singing too.

And the dancing.

Looking forward to being there I daresay mr Scarecrow and I will bring some Shropshire blue to the feast. We'll be hoping to fit our tiny camper and enormous Awning into the camping field as usual. I am also hoping to have another CD ready. Dave says it ought to be called" I did this one on my own cos my husband's too bloody lazy to write any more songs" but I think I'll try and think of something a little less catchy!

Don't really like all these cheeses with fruit and things in. What we have around here now, and which I will try to remember to bring some of to Miskin, is red Leicester cheese. Now you may think that that sounds fairly boring, but over the last couple of years, a farm near Market Bosworth in Leicestershire has started making Red Leicester cheese and it is the first time it's actually been made IN the county for over 50 years. The cheese is lovely...nicer than all the every-day red Leicesters.

What goes really well with nice cheese, apart from port, is a good drop of elderberry though........

Sorry! it was a line in Scantieman's pot that done it...


A glass of port, And A slice of cheese?
Several Cheddars and lots of Bries
Offer me a glass and all I'll take
Is a bloody great jug from the French* 'wine lake'

A glass of Dow,and a Gouda 'wheel'
It's really great how they make me feel
Though drinking beer can be quite bliss,
All it does is makes me piss.


Apologies to Worzel & Aunt Sally!
Feel free to add more

CHEERS

I'll say "If you do you'll be welcome" - I saw some Wensleyday with cranberries in a local supermarket the other day but it wasn't smoked.

That's great Jane!

I had enough trouble deciding what to do when this year...adding something will make my problems worse! Though in fact, last Miskin I didn't decide anything, I kind of got caught up and whisked along to various things, all of which I enjoyed incredible. I think I'll just drift where it takes me again...I just hope I get to drift to the wine and cheese session!

It's the spin offs that give each festival it's own feel Dave, panic not. As for when and where, I have enough problems fitting in "all the other wonderfull things going on". But somehow last year we fitted in the Chav's Morris and a rather excellent Mummers Play, so I'm sure a slot will arrive in the ever continuing time warp that is Miskin.

Oh Dear!!

What have I started? Didn't mean to take over your bar & catering arrangements and certainly not wanting to do myself out of beer and breakfast.

Er not sure that am worried about what people bring to eat or drink.

I shall be on the original Port and Cheese idea if only cos I like the combination of flavours.

Andy is there a time that would fit in best with all the other wonderfull things going on?
