8th June 2012 - Mid Winter and 12 days to the longest day ....

Central Heating on last night !! Buckets under the windows to catch the rain dripping in through the double glazing - always happens when the wind blows too hard and the rain comes down in stair rods - or rather flies horizontally !!

Queries this morning with CADW - who still have not come back to me about the BIG CHEESE, international market at Caerphilly Castle. Just had confirmation phone call so we can apply for the TEN.
Details of BIG CHEESE here

Tasks for the day - cash up the event and send invoice for the setup fee.  Get the wall hangings and other cloths out of the trailer before they start smelling. (Will have to dodge the storms for that one).
Videos are uploading at the moment - so will have to  look at them and see if they need any adjustment. Carry on with the photo galleries ... first one starts here. Only another 550 pictures to look through ..
Facebook Galleries here
Will probably add a separate gallery for the wedding... makes more sense to split them up - though some will probably appear in both.

9pm : Added another 90 pictures to the gallery - separated the wedding shots so will have to work on that gallery tomorrow.
Managed to find 40 litres of oil for biodiesel - wo with the oil here - enough for one batch - go searching again tomorrow. Videos all uploaded to Youtube. Broadband played up again - always n the largest file !! but in a position to do some editing and playing with the results.
Got to Glamorgan ales and sorted out a return of the lager not used - that will be a little less weight to carry to Lee!!  Between the credit note and the bills and another 2 boxes of Cider for Leek - ended up getting back £5.32  - Win!!.
Susie cashed up - seems that despite the weather the total for the weekend make it a worthwhile event as well as enjoyable.
We have now got the weekend and Monday to load - Hotel booked for Tuesday Night so we can visit Bookers on the way to event on Wednesday - can't arrive before midday anyway.
Still need to repair the canvass, sort out the requirements for stock - and get everything ready for two weeks away .
We will be traveling directly from Leek to Silverstone - via my daughter and not coming home - so we have to be prepared for everything.

Spent an hour this afternoon with Ron Savory - excellent guitarist and all round nice guy. Took some video for two songs inspired by the Fest - both excellent. Seems the Fest touched people's hearts as well as minds - so not just me being sentimental. If we are there next year - we should be there as campers!!

Have to work on an introduction and credits for the video if it uploads clean ...

Worked on the videos and they seem to be going well.. In the meantime - I will take the opportunity of being a grandfather and including my grandson onto the blog...   meet Torrin ..
 

End of the evening - and my work is complete  - persuaded Ron to let his wonderful song go public as a tribute to Jude and Ant for the festival ...
here it is...
