Winter Solstice 21/12/2014 - The Witchmen at the Lilacs Isham

Celebrating the shortest day and the coming turning of the year with its looking forwards to the re-birth of spring - truthfully it was a good way to spend a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoom watching a variety of sides having a great time and having a couple of beers as Rowena was driving. And avoiding diving into Aldi near the A14 for that bit of last minute preparation for the one day that the shops are shut - Christmas Day.
It was a great afternoon with some good dancing and a jovial atmosphere under the ever watchful eye of the Green Man and Santa Clause. It will soon be time for The January Man to start leading his brothers through the endless journey through the years - lest hope 2015 is a good one for everyone.

                                                             

     

 Yes it is Allana in her Bourne Borders Rags and Tatters

 - but who's her pal with the beer.

Black Horse Foxton Village 15th December 2014

A good pre-Christmas evening of music and merriment and some excellent home made nibbles and some enthusiastic singing - including the 13 days of Christmas , from Pauline , Marrow bones from Fiddler Dave , While Shepherds watched to the alternative tune (Ilkley Moor) , and alternative version of Gaudette , Bill (Melodeon) put words to 'Jockey to the Fair' - bound to cause confusion with the numbers of 'A's and 'B' s. Sadly Boars Head Carol floundered in the absence of Geoff the Bagman.
A jolly good time was had by all, in spite of the odd looks we got from time to time from the Bar staff.
