I find that walk up the hill is good for clearing the head and the lungs - and I'm older than you are Barden. When there are buses I always miss them anyway... But it would be handy having one, I grant you.

And I agree that a Bedford (Sidmouth) type pub jam would be handy, where you can drift in an play a few tunes and sing a few songs, and where joining in to accompany the songs instrumentally was the accepted way of things.

The late night in the Upton hall is a bit too late night - I quite enjoyed being able to sit back and be entertained, and teh Music Hall especially was great.

Those are suggestions rather than complaints. I had a great week.

And glad to see you dipping in here Tongue Tied. That munchy song was one of my highlights of the week.
