When I typed your name in the search engine of http://www.cite-musique.fr, I got your concert... and an Yvette Horner (French accordionist) concert :-) BTW it's scheduled for Sept. 23!

Er, you're right! > It sounds like a cool program, I'll attend it. Are you invited ? I am, but I'm still not 100% certain I can attend yet. It's a busy month.

It was, sunny, warm with a cooling breeze. Good food (salmon and samphire pie, belly of pork with mash, scallops in mustard sauce, lobster in cajun spices, monkfish stuffed with basil and tomato, wrapped in bacon) and the sexiiest barmaid I have ever seen. This is true, a local youth walked up to the bar, looked at her 4 inch cleavage and calmly ordered a "bromide top". She just smiled and leaned over the pumps more. We had crab baguettes there. >I was about 20 miles away >from your beloved Wasdale! I'd like to take the train along the Cumbrian >Coast to Carlisle sometime. Its probably quite nice, there is a mountain goat bus that goes over some of the ELD passes, seeing as you wont do the sensible thing! -- Mike Reid Walk-eat-photos UK "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" <-- you can email us@ this site Walk-eat-photos Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" <-- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap

Actually, an interesting route to Wasdale would be- train from Manchester to Barrow train from Barrow to Ravenglass steam train to Dalegarth walk the 3 miles top Wasdale! -- David Horne- http://www.davidhorne.net usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk http://homepage.mac.com/davidhornecomposer http://soundjunction.org
