Another Great Weekend.


Yes, I know, I've screwed up the dates on the camera again.

It’s surprising what can make a cherished moment.

Excellent meal of duck, new potatoes and cauliflower cheese, alfresco, in very pleasant company.

A patio lit only by ‘T’ tree lights and Chinese lanterns.

We drank mead and listened to folk music.

Talked into the night, cutched* on a wicker settee, wearing old dog walking coats.

It was totally charming.

The next day, Sunday, we met up with family for a few drinks, sat outside in the sun at the Hen and Chickens in Abergavenny listening to their jazz quartet.

Life is good.

* Cutched = Welsh word for snuggled.

He would have been pleased to know his demise was a part, of such a feeling of wellbeing.

Awaiting- I know. Life can seem total shite sometimes, then later a long way down the tracks it all comes good and seems so worthwhile.

First Nations- My English Rose of course.
Mead, very 'moreish'. The original Alcopops.

Snooze- Very contented Tick'.

Beast- I know. Neither of us are 'folkies' but at the time the mood was just right. As I said, it's surprising what makes a cherished moment.

Arabella- I could easily grow fat on mead. Sweet and sour alcohol.

Glenwood- I would love it if my camera talked to me in any language. It just sulks and occasionally goes, 'humph'

sounds AND looks lovely!

Glad you had such a nice time.

Have you been enjoying your Nouvelle Vague, and which one is your favorite? Mine is "In a Manner of Speaking."

frobisher- Wouldn't swap it.

first nations- The latter of course. I'm not local.

phlegmfatal- Ripples of appreciation are emanating from Pontypool. It's become a hit at the steelworks and I've received many enquiries about it.
The screachy bit in 'Too Drunk to Fuck' is fun and all the tracks are good.
I've taken the trouble to go through the lot and have to agree with you. 'In a manner of speaking,' is the best.
