I have been receiving texts from The Man ~ rather awkward whilst in a marketing meeting, but since I'm now home...  whistle:

"The white Rastafarians are playing lutes... a man sings; he has a finger in his ear... Beans pulse, rain falls... "

" A yurt is being erected... "

"Choices: patchworking, moon adoration, Peruvian scissor dancing?  I may start a fight  eveilgrin:"


They seem to be coming through in rough Haiku form   lol: lol:

I have just had a telephone call from Nick ~ he is hysterical. I have never heard him laughing so much. He says it is pissing down, everyone is camping it seems and he and Mrs Nick don't dare mention that they are staying in a four star hotel.

He tells me that everyone is Vegetarian of the worst sort ~ loads of Wicans and Hippies everywhere and the local butcher has put a sign in his window saying "All meat in this shop is vegetarian ~ All our animals eat only grass".

Honestly he sounded like the "Laughing Policeman"  ~ Says he has never seen anything like it in his whole life.

Last evening they had the treat of a Down's Syndrome Accordion Band complete with carers on the stage. Cruel to laugh but I nearly wet myself at his description of it.

I'll leave it to him to tell you the rest.  happy001 happy001 happy001 happy001

I'm really pleased he's getting so much fun from something he wasn't looking forward to in the first place. Just goes to show you never know.

Quite so Uncle.

Let's hope Mrs Nick sees it the same way.  Or perhaps that's part of the fun. . . . .  ;)
