The main day event is Saturday, 30th July and a whole host of activities are planned. They'll be stalls and stands, where lots of trading can commence. Stalls are planned offering bric-a-brac, cakes, books, jewellery, cards and kids toys.

They'll be an opportunity to join East Lancs Lets, and find out more about Lets in general. For existing members, this is a great opportunity to meet others, and get some new LONKS trading partners.

They'll be lots of things for kids, including a talk on trees, football, a kids play area, a story telling corner and more.

Food and drink will be available for a small fee. thingyie's Meadow is a beautiful countryside venue in Accrington, with lots of space for kids to play.

Well thank you Mitch...I'm not quite seeing the pics yet, on somebody else's pc, but am sure they are really good, and fun!

The evening party was out of this world! Was just like being at Glastonbury Festival (but without the rain and mud...hehehe) with live and piped music, lots of hippies and ex punks, and a great atmosphere. Music ranged from country/rock/folkish/dance to punk...fantastic.

My kids loved the experience, Becki said that chilling in a Yurt with a few friends, some music and beer was just what she wanted to do in life!! teehee, I think a bit of 'blow' had got into her system...u should have heard her giggling...lol.and she was after some spuds to eat! The blokes there became obsessed with her long red hair, so she was the 'belle of the ball', and didn't she know it!!! She let herself go, and danced the night away till around 5am.

Dan was receiving mucho attention from women in their 20's and 30's who demanded hugs and kisses from him cos he was 'so cute'!! He begrudgingly obliged them, but with a little secret smile on his face...and he said he'd enjoyed himself very much too...we retired to bed at around 4am with the music and conversation ringing in our ears, but it didn't stop us from sleeping, we were shattered...

So, all in all a great weekend festival, good company etc, and well recommended...SO WHERE WERE YOU ALL!!!!!! LOL

[Mitch]

Hee hee, I told her about that red hair, superb it is. Janis Joplin look-a-like.

Have Jules' midge bites calmed downed as well. Sweet b-jesus she had it bad. I gotta not miss the next evening do.

Where are you by the way - in transit?? I thought you and Yvette had gone off to do some cabaret dates around the country?? titter

I caught this in the Glastonbury Times earlier when I was cruising around the web - twitter:

"TONIGHT, FOR ONE SHOW ONLY, APPEARING AT THE GLASTONBURY PALLADIUM ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT'S

MICHELE & YVETTE (prounounced with a Francais accent!!)

Yvette promises not to sing, and Michele will perform her especiallio hippie dance she learnt in her youth! (twitter) dressed in white linen (bought on a trip to Ibiza/Ad Lib Fashion).

Unfortunately, Percy will not be appearing in this appointment as he has decided to stay at home and do his Racing Times thing and doing up the allotment bedsit for guests. Fred has already made several bookings, each with different lady friends.

Mitch is as home, pretending to do some work and Barmy (who is missed I never thought I'd say) still appears to be off-line, his hard dwrive having exploded.

NOT TO BE MISSED!!!"

Twitter. Have fun, see you soon, where are you??

byeeeeee MItch xx ;D

[michele cryer]

Lol Mitch...superb post!!! I'm staying with Yvette's friend Andrea in Swindon for a couple of nights, before travelling onto Glastonbury, for the gig! teehee...
