Whitehaven Maritime Festival   
Anyone off to Whitehaven tomorrow? Where's Sean these days? I'm surprised 
he's not been telling us all about it. Then again, he's maybe in the midst 
of the organisation of it.

Belfagan will be there of course. At the last one, 2 years ago, we all 
melted into little puddles on the quayside, as it was probably the hottest 
day of the year. Looking at the greyness and drizzle outside tonight, I'm 
afraid tomorrow's weather will be quite different... Dunno which is worse, 
dancing under the beating sun, surrounded by enormous crowds all day and 
ending up with a splitting migraine, or dancing in the rain with soggy 
clothes and dripping hair and all the punters hiding in the pubs and cafes. 
Oh well, nothing like a bit of variety in life.

Give us a wave if you see us, won't you!

PS - Edith - got any sun-dances left in you? Pretty please?

I'll do one now, immediately.

Ooh, thank you. I see you've arranged it so that it rains all night, leaving 
the sky clear and bright for tomorrow. I await the morning with bated 
breath.

Edith, O Great Sun Goddess, you have excelled yourself today! What sunshine! 
What blue skies! What huge crowds of happy, sweaty people on the quayside!

Steve and I have decided to start a new religion, with Edith The Sun Goddess 
as its central deity. All potential disciples please sign up here.

I heard some of you lot on the radio ('Belfagan', that is) - CFM, 
Saturday morning.  Listened out for yourself, but all I heard was the
accordionist describing his skills....  Did I miss you? - Were you
on air?

Would liked to have come over, but couldn't get out of shopping, and 
other things call (Children's social life - parties and all that) this 
sunday.

You may have heard me playing sax or recorder in the background. The 
interviewer came over and chatted to Jan, our secretary, and the band played 
on, in the background. Then he started chatting to Stuart, the accordion 
player, and Bridget (the other accordion player) and I just kept on playing. 
The interviewer had obviously had had enough by that time - one dancer and 
one musician was enough and he moved onwards through the crowd. I was hoping 
to get in a quick plug for Marshall McGurk but it was not to be!
