we are off on our holidays, via Orkney and the Fank. looking for warm weather and relaxation.

Ruthodanort and Damadcoo are supposed to be coming too - HURRY UP you two. Herman - stand by....

we may be gone some time.....

the fank was great. we met LOADS of folk, a very few were nice and friendly. Most were desperate but awfully polite about it. much of what went on is under reporting embargo. the only thing I am allowed say is (subject to press restrictions) I will NEVER accompany that woman Babsie Anne fae Nort anywhere again.(who invited her?) her fireman's lift had to be seen to be believed. A very large American person had to be taken to the First Aid tent to recover, it was a pity she insisted on carrying him there. Never mind, they are probably still travelling in a westerly direction....I wish him luck and her happiness.

The weather is getting better - its been sunny and not so freezing cold. the celandines, the daffodils and the primroses are all blooming. isn't that nice. still no grass though. And there are lambs and calves. I sound like a primary 3 pupil writing about 'My Easter Holiday'

Next weekend is the Folk Festival, last year was brilliant, Ruthodanort is coming and bringing several friends, so it should be a good weekend. The best thing of all is that we have a holiday on Monday too. Last year was the 25th anniversary if the Festival and it was so good. A very big thank you to all those who help run it as volunteers, its very much appreciated. We will miss the Old Rope String Band, thats for sure.
And Guy Davis - what music! mmmm....

Many years ago Elvis Costello came and I mentioned to a friend how good he was 'he's staying with us' she confided. I loved his music - Oliver's Army etc.

this is a recipe completely invented by my 8 year old. is anyone brave enough to try it? I have just eaten a plateful. the things a mother has to do...
