Guess where?

We’ve just got back from a little break and you as can see in the photo above the sun shone for us. Where is this wonderful sun kissed beach? Goa? Seychelles? Nah! This is Skegness, Lincolnshire; and we’ve just got back from the Great British Folk Festival! We were really privileged to hear some great music, so many great musicians in one place; no wonder the sun shone! Our highlights would have to be Show of Hands, can’t praise these guys highly enough. And also Gordon Giltrap, what a guitar player he is- you must go to see him- he kept 100s of us mesmerised with his virtuoso performance and amused with good humoured banter.

Happy Birthday Brendan!

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you will no doubt be aware of the twin-point mandolin that I made earlier on in the year for Brendan. Well, Brendan has just had his 60^th birthday and he sent me this photo of the wonderful cake that his daughter Christine made for him. Isn’t it brilliant!
