2nd & 3rd Bridewell Nights

Well, what to say - each night better than the next - a sea of friends, old and new coming to visit, and the support we get from The Bridewell Institute is wonderful...

One old friend was Neil Pearson - great to see him again; we sang a cricket song, Neil Hannon & Thomas Walsh's Jiggery Pokery, which tells the story of that ball to Mike Gatting bowled by Shane Warne in 1993.... Neil said he was filming (Between the Lines, I reckon) at Old Trafford at that very moment; and thus his reaction to the amazing right-angled delivery was caught on film...they could not help but react... 'cut!' - must be in the BBC vaults somewhere... or perhaps on the cutting room floor (I realise this is a very ancient concept in these digital times...)

Yet more members of my family came... this is once more a delight... hoping this becomes an annual Festive week for us in early September... 2 years and counting...
