*groans a bit*

Very good and long day yesterday with a cool and even longer night out. Met new people, had a few drinks and listened to lots of different music.
Am surprisingly awake but have to be off to the bus station and then airport in a bit.
Should be home around 9.

Back from Scotland

After a few delays and about an hour of agony due to stomach/bowel cramps caused by trapped wind, I'm finally back home.

It's been a fantastic weekend that involved meeting old friends, witnessing a wonderful handfasting ceremony with a good party afterwards, seeing various bits of Glasgow and the countryside, meeting new people and making new friends and a long and nice night out.

Thanks are in order:
Firstly, to rich_redcap and fithefairie for the invitation and assorted friends of theirs for making stuff happening.
And also to sublevel3 for crash and company plus lavindelf and her bloke fossilised for the tour of the countryside on Saturday. Meeting purplehez, anyanka_demon and Andy was great, too. And purplehez, we need to chat more about medieval music next time, ideally when we aren't drunk/tired. :o)

There will be a small photo preview later this evening.

Incidentally, I highly recommend the current special edition of Q magazine with a huge 65-page article about JC as well as other artists like Emmylou Harris, Gene Clark, The Byrds and Lucinda Williams. There's also a fiendish crossword puzzle to solve for the fantastic competition to win JC goodies. I won't be able to do this on my own, so I will soon ask for help.
