    Its Happens on occasions

    About 100yds from our cottage through the graveyard is the old vicarage. The old vicarage dates back to 1595. They even have the original hand written deeds from that time and there are many orginal features throughout the house. Its a fab place. Anyhow, I digress. They invited us to a summer garden party there last weekend. I havent had a comment about my cilt for months (and I wear it around town and to all types of events etc). However, as Elaine and myself walked into their garden this one chap, stood along side wis wife (turns out they are both profs in the local university), glances at me and says, 'I didnt know it was a fancy dress party' lol ... I replied immediately saying 'I wouldnt have bothered if I knew you were going to come like that, because you will win hands down'. Other than that cilted life carried on as normal and a fab nite it was. I took my acoustic guitar and Elaine n myself did a 15min acoustic set of some of our new songs we have written. Their garden raises up so we played on a patio by the kitchen and all the 80 guests sat on the grass etc. It was like playing in a small ampitheatre.
    Thought I chuck these in here
    The wife said she be ready in 5mins, so I hung round


    20mins later, I decided to take it easy ... women
