I thought the band were all wearing brown shoes but, on closer inspection, I see that they are all covered in MUD. he he.

I wish we could get some rain around here. Just to cool things off.

I think he's some kind of conductor, or maybe appealling for the rain to stop?

Thank you.

And glad to know that what I thought was an innocent food bar in the background of my picture has caused so much amusement over there in the American south!

I didn't. I went for a traditional English pastie!

Good thing the camera man/woman wasn't sitting a foot to the right, that's a pretty close call for kilt etiquette.

Martin thanks for sharing the pictures.

I'll just take this opportunity to say how much I enjoyed meeting another Warwickshire lad at Harpenden

Thanks David, it was a genuine pleasure to meet you, your family and Xmarkers Hamish, Jim, Alex, and Derek and family.

Looking forward to meeting everyone again, if not before, at the event of 2008.

I refer, of course, to none other than the Storrington Gathering!
