Douglas had been invited to go help with security at a Pagan festival near Coventry, and was looking forward to going.. and one of our friends - Dangerous Dave - had persuaded me to go too!
On Friday it rained.. and rained.. and rained some more. Most of Wales, bits of Yorkshire and a fair bit of the South West turned into swimming pools, and the outlook for the Midlands was for more of the same over Saturday and Sunday. As you know, we have to consider D's health, and we decided that a weekend in pretty damp and grotty conditions would do him no favours at all.. so with reluctance, we cancelled :-(
After we had made that decision, and apologised to the group via Dave, I received an email from a mailing list I belong to from a lady called Jacey Bedford. Jacey lives in a little village called Birdsedge in West Yorkshire, and was a third of a wonderful accapella folk group called Artisan. (do please have a good mosey round this site and follow the links - some lovely stuff to be heard!)
The email came with an empassioned plea for members of the list to stir their stumps and come to a concert raising money for the local Village Hall. The concert was originally going to be in the local Church Hall (Village Hall is leaky!) but so few people signed up that Jacey moved the venue to her house!
It was a lovely concert, listening to the Tania Opland & Mike Freeman sat very comfortably on the sofa, just a few yards from the aritsts!!!
We got back through the rain and fog at about 11pm.
