You are joking about it(and other bush meat) being on sale at Sainsburys I hope). I am an adoptive parent at Monkey World, and although those howlers are noisy creatures, I don't want to eat them thanks. Any trees anywhere are safe too, as we are definitely ground based leopards. Any kills will just be dragged to a safe spot and consumed privately. |

I'm not sure what plot Val and Linda have hatched about puddings, men of course eat meat with chili sauce (and maybe jacket potatoes) and that's that. Come to think of it, depending on the meat and the skill of the barbecuers, SHARP knife and forks could be useful although seriously I have many just down the road in my house. Val, what is the plot about plates and napkins? Burnables? Are they in stock? I might have 20 or 30 in a cupboard somewhere... |

If we're able to come along I'll try to do some brownies & possibly fresh ciabatta. Just a thought, is next door's 'camping field' vaguely suitable for small caravan? Either way, I promise not to bring our foxes or their cubs but they seemed quite keen at the mention of chicken.... |

21 May 09 - 01:31 PM (#2637758) Subject: RE: ReWake: Slats, Jacqui and Dave Bryant From: Richard Bridge No. The nearest conceivable caravan space is the pub carpark (100 yards) by special arrangement only - you will need to ring Dilligaf. I could (for you) get ONE SMALL caravan (in addition to my own) on my drive, but it is about a mile walk away. Val, is there any nickable van space at the top of Church Path? My guess is that the farmer would throw hand grenades! |

AND there are no estate agent's signs in the path across the fields... Ther eare some passing places in the lower road. You would probably be gone before the council could evict (40 foot trailer anyone?). I will drive the road tomorrow and seek warning-off signs... There is also an area that it might be difficult to evict a van from near the fishing lake in Middle Stoke (a shorter walk). However, given the forecast, I think Pete the Hat may have the right idea - two bivvi bags would crack it... |

Re bringing voices, I may be nattering quietly with folks in various corners throughout the event. I've been losing my voice after one song lately. Bringing instruments to fiddle around with though. Maybe even the dulcimer. Pierre - I suddenly remembered why I wanted those strings. Going to redtring little youth guitar to take to work and practice there on lunch hour. Since I cannot mudcat at least that is something constructive. I can hide out in the first aid room or one of the meeting rooms to practice. See you guys about 1:30 - 2:00. |

TheSilentOne is still abed and he drank only a glass and a half of soemthing. But his is not sorehead. Sheer exhaustion from the past weeks of Osted, EdExcel verification, marking, visiting his parents and occasional folking. I met and got to know more Catters - My guru always said, BillyBob and Dipsodeb. That Ben was amazing and I kept my eyes riveted to his fingers. Who was the fellow with the blues harp, next to Woodsie? It was a top gathering. I wept on 3 separate occassions. No Worries caught me off guard with "THE" song. And the recording of Dave Bryant doing Grey Funnel Line. So sorry I missed meeting this man and then began thinking about the others I wished I'd known, etc. and wishing you all might of met Andie. She would have knocked your socks off, and not just musically. I can't remember what other song got to me. Oddly enough I didn't cry when we sent the lanterns. Thank you for letting me dedicate one to Andie. There were a couple of moments of chorus interrptus, which always makes me feel better when I flub up a song. Last half hour or so was fantastic with loads of rousing chorus songs. Always glad to hear Kev the Clogs sing the moving ones. Thanks to all for inviting us. See you soon at Essex Girl's BBQ. Hope you all enjoy the Pig's Ear |

25 May 09 - 09:42 AM (#2640411) Subject: RE: ReWake: Slats, Jacqui and Dave Bryant From: Richard Bridge I think that Big Pat and Pete the Hat saw the dawn in. Indeed I suspect each of them saw two or more dawns in since both were likely seeing double (or treble). There was one wonderful blues with Pat's harp and another harpist (I cannot now place who) going round each other - I think Woodsie was doing the chugs on guitar. The one with Ben Little and Pat's harp was a real killer too. John, my 4-man tent was in James and Emma's garden in case of need, but the catch-22 was that by the time of urgent need it could have been an increased challenge to make the tent stand up! Poor Rachel was quite damaged this morning by the Double Vision and Treble Vision (both much more dangerous than the Jacques), and on my first arrival today at Val's Kev was NOT looking well! I understand that Kev has a "before" picture of the beer shed on his phone and when he emails it to me I will try to get it up on photobucket. |

Marion and i got home, had a spot of supper, retired at about 2.00 am, and woke up at 10.30 this morning both feeling fine, and have been gardening all day.

I would like to Thank James and Emma for letting me camp in there wonderful garden its plain that both of you have very Green fingers, I did remember to let the Chickens out this morning has I promised Emma I would I made me mind up to leave the Tent pitched because it was very wet . A Thank you to those who sampled me cooking and your kind remarks. I can not imagine who the Very wrecked people were. I saw nothing out the ordinary I do not drink Cider so I stayed with beer and sank a half bottle of Vodka under the Light of the moon with Pat drinking Beer after every one had gone. When the Dawn came up I lay down. Big Pat and Ben were talking in the Garden about the song Candy Man. I said to them if you wanna hear Candy Man ,come with me and I took them to Brian & Marion and asked Brian if he would Play Candy Man for both Ben Pat & Me which they played superbly ,Ben needs all the inspiration he can get he has come on in leaps and bounds and so has Pat with his Harp and who better then Brian and Marion doing Candy man to Inspire them.Thank you both very much. Essex Girl you should get your Instrument out more often. You have a great voice But You are also a Dark Horse Musically.. Well done. Very well done to every one . Chapter 2, When everyone piled out on the road to watch The Remembrance Lanterns go up in the air I was some what moved by the whole thing , I was also honored to help support the Lanterns prior to lift off. Both my self and fellow supporters thought it was rib spit-tingly funny when the man in the car came down the road in the dead of night to see what must have been a site he will never forget. I loved the way his car-reversed iin haste and fled the scene after a moment of wondering What the Hell was going on.Mr Bridge made it quite clear" Parading in the road that you will "have to wait Mate. Finally Thanks Val for the Bacon Betties Much Welcome this morning. Thanks to Kev the Clogs who despite being worse for wear he insisted that all instruments placed in the shed should be taken in door at the end of a very long and unforgettable Day. Thanks Kev The Clogs And of course Essex Girl who if it was not for her I would never have gotten there in the first place. Light and Peace to all Pierre. |

To ginge {next doors chicken} who having attend a semi mudcat gathering of her own free will, flying fences to get there should now be made an honary member. but I will understand if she doesn,t post !! Why has nobody mentioned I arranged the Red Arrow fly past as well. By the way it was 6 wish lanterns that went off, ME remained sober through out as is my way, not being the sort to drink. Funny I can listen to recordings of Pete,remember him and smile but when Linda played the one of Dave all I could see was him standing there and got choked up, Thank you for the dvd Wendy and Bill of the old git playing, wasn,t he something. BIG HUGS and love to all xx A BRIEF LIFE Away from the light of the day, The night brings its gift to the eye The far away fire of the stars That turn on the wheel of the sky. Some of those stars will go out With each turn of the sun and the moon; All of our lives have their ends; All of our lives end too soon. Some of them fade into dark Before the first light of first dawn; But all of the stars have their place And tomorrow more stars will be born. How long or how short? Any lifetime May be gone in the blink of an eye; Accept that a star has gone out; But remember its place in the sky. Les Barker |

Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to put it together, made us so welcome and cleared up when we had disappeared home. The food and drink company and the sentiments of the evening was smashing. Tam, I do indeed know THE song you mean. It's a pleasure to sing it, especially with the swell of voices that joined in on Sunday - "Only Remembered" . We learnt it from Coope Boyes and Simpson. Thanks to Pete for the compliment re "Candyman" but again it is the back up of friends that makes it really go well. Take care all. Marion XXX PS It was also quite a hair "raising" experience for me thanks to "Lantern Jackie". Glad they all made it into the skies. |

Thanks for a brilliant evening, if we didn't have to leave, we wouldn't have done, but 15 year old would be super stars need their beauty sleep. All I drunk was one bottle of Badgers, and I got a stinker of a headache, which is still nagging at me. Excellent music, great organising on your part, Val, Richard, and Linda. I found the lantern flying very moving, especially when Billybob stood with me, arms around each other in remeberence of Viva.. thanks for that guys. The entrance of Ginger to the circle was surreal. Can she come to future events, as a special guest please? As to Ben, be extremely afraid!!! Not content with entering "The Dark Side" by the aquisition of a banjo, he now has an accordion! |

27 May 09 - 10:21 AM (#2641903) Subject: RE: ReWake: Slats, Jacqui and Dave Bryant From: Pierre Le Chapeau What a Parlarva I realize I think why my guitar sounded awful on Sunday The Tangle-wood? I could not tune it properly the strings sound dull and I blamed my new Tuner My defense being the battery might be flat. Richard tuned it for me and made it sound better and told me to 'Get some new strings" I protested that they were new strings and that the guitar had been set up only a month prior to Sundays Event.. Richard then said I must have Acid hands which I cannot deny because I have. And Brian did definably put new strings on with the set up because I took the Tanglewood to The Nags for the last session and she rang out lovely. I realize now what has cause the problem. and I will learn from it. I keep all my guitars in my bedroom and that day I throughly steamed cleaned the room it took hours to do everything and the guitars were on there stands in the room. I just moved them around the room. all that steam and all those exposed strings they have all gone bloody rusty and the wound strings have rusted from within. I asking do you Guitar experts think this possible I can see the top E and B are red with rust. The same on the Clarissa . The other instruments were on stands in me wardrobe so they would not have been affected by the steam New strings for Pigs Ear. Beware of steam Cleaners |

27 May 09 - 10:45 AM (#2641918) Subject: RE: ReWake: Slats, Jacqui and Dave Bryant From: Richard Bridge Particularly if you have acid fingers, Elixirs are a wise investment, I would think 12-53 Nanowebs on your Tanglewood. If you really can't hear pitch get someone to put them on for you - a tuner cannot tell one octave from another with any ease, so it is easy to break the strings. I have a tuner exactly like yours, and I am about to bin it 'cos it is crap even with a new battery, and go back to using the old one. You can't go far wrong with the rather expensive Intelli (like Kev the Clogs has) but I prefer the ENO ET 3000 for its slightly faster needle - although it does eat batteries and those 2032 batteries are expensive. You can also get ones with a three-way colour change and Debs has one if you want to see how you get on with it. |

Wonder if the guy in the car that turned and took off like a bat out of hell, thought we were aliens? Want to thank those who arranged a special veggie grill. Very thoughtful. |
