Would love to come over for the festival but maybe next year when I visit my brothers and sister who still live there at Cowes. Looks like a great program and what a venue at Havenstreet!! Best of luck with it. |

Can't get away this weekend I'm afraid, but if there's one next year we'd probably want to get involved. Have a Fab weekend, Enjoy! |
