It shut too early. I had to go to Frank's instead. Disappointing.

[Mick Mac]

I went down Sunday afternoon and personally thought it was poor. Possibly not the best time to go. Bought an ice cream - witnessed middle child having tantrum at being given wrong ice cream - that was as good as it got.

[Ladymuck]

Actually, Declan Nerney was much better LIVE...out in the open air. I enjoyed listening to his band's music whilst I just simply sat/walked about with friends eating icecream, crisps and drinking cider. The whole atmosphere was lovely. Everyone seemed relaxed and to be having a good time. Sure some of the stalls were a bit naff - but so what - it was free, fun and pleasant, I was with good friends and the weather was perfect. Everyone I bumped into said the same. But then and again, I prefer the simple things in life.

[Ladymuck]

I also adore his accent. Gorgeous!

[observermum]

I agree - pleasant atmosphere

Unfortunately the dates clashed with lots of other events and school fairs so many families were busy elsewhere.

But still a good turn out and many people caught up with old friends. As for the stalls - they're a one-off thing - it was not really a profit making event with just stands for the county associations with a few raffles to raise money for the elderly or Across etc

Well done to the organisers

Hope it continues for many years to come.......

[Ladymuck]

Here, here, observermum...

...and Narnia, try resisting tapping your feet to this one! If you can manage it, then you must be in a semi-comatosed state. (*prods Narnia*)

Ahhhhhh, that accent again.

[OliviaDee]

LadyM,

i have to ask,

you are taking the mick mac?

[Ladymuck]

About what?

[Narnia]

The man sounds like a feckin leprechaun or at least how I imagine one to sound. Give me comatose any day.

[OliviaDee]

comatose and a couple of crochet hooks to pull my ear drums out with.

[OliviaDee]

ladymuck, I tried to find you Johny McEvoy's Hedgehog song but sadly couldn't. I don't know why he doesn't want to share it with the world - but i would like to have shared it with you to show no hard feelings.

[Ladymuck]

Ah well...there's no accounting for taste...

And, no I really wasn't taking the Mick Mac (I like that by the way!) OliviaDee...I genuinely enjoyed DN's music on Sunday. It was cheery. And I do genuinely love that accent. But each to their own...whatever floats your boat...whatever tickles your fanny...

[Narnia]

The only Hedgehog song I know of is by the Incredible String Band. Are you sure it wasn't called something else OD?

[OliviaDee]

definitely the Hedgehog song cos i googled it - i just can't find a recording of it. i think it would freak me out too much to hear it again anyway!

[OliviaDee]

thank-you for tickling my fanny ladymuck

[Ladymuck]

:-$

Ahem! Please...make no mistake...I was not tickling anybody's fanny!! LOL!!!!

[OliviaDee]

oh.

not even for a hedgehog?

[Ladymuck]

Define hedgehog...

[Narnia]

Jeysus...............utter filth. Did either of you attend mass on Sunday to atone for the sins you were about to commit?

[OliviaDee]

edited for being just too rude

[OliviaDee]

i'm a bit lapsed narnia. can't you tell?

[Ladymuck]

Narnia...that's the problem...too much mass, too many catechism classes, and confessions galore as a child have turned me into an utter heathen!

[Narnia]

What happened to Neil, Oliver? Did he leave you on his 4th birthday?
