Cropredy 2006 was a good 'un. The weather was unusually cold, and we left our tent poles at home which didn't make for a great start to the festival. But the music was great. Steeleye Span with Maddy Prior, Dave Swarbrick and Flook were highlights. The food was also good - Leon's has been the best food on site for many years now, but I also enjoyed Molly Moon's Vegetarian Pies - new this year, hope they'll be back. The beer flowed freely. The shopping, as always was great. I picked up a couple of pairs of hippy baggy pants and some groovy tops, and the kids enjoyed hunting for bargains at the car boot sale.But of course the bext thing about Cropredy was catching up with old friends. My sisters, Stephanie and Lindsey are pictured. Also there in 2006 were TJ, Andrew, Shona, a trio of Steves, Leila, Thomas, and Cropredy virgins Elaine and Amy. Absent friends this year included Jim and Catrin amongst many others.
It all seemed to be over far too soon but the dampness in my Doc Martens and the lingering smell of patchouli will keep the Cropredy spirit alive for a little while yet.

I'm glad you had at Cropredy 2006. It's always nice to run off and have a good time -- not to mention spending time with friends and family. The beer sounds good, too. It's high time I got back into brewing my own. Everything is better when it's home made, even a pint of stout.
We went to Lake Front Days in Cadillac, Michigan, USA yesterday. The high point was doing a bit of kayaking. Of course, the kids ended up swimming more than kayaking. (Then we came home and fed the animals and gathered eggs.)
I read about your lakeside trip. It sounded idyllic.
Thanks for thinking of us while you were there, that made our day..
