    What was I worried about? The weather was great, the people came and the plasma screen worked – or at least it did once Tommy shot off to get batteries for some crucial part and Alan spent half an hour trying to get hold of the technician at the hire shop.

    I don’t really have time for this. I have worrying to do and weather forecasts to check. BBC says Edinburgh will be fine, warmish and might even manage a little sun. MetOffice shows a big grey cloud over the city. I think I’ll go with the BBC, much better for our outdoor FEAST.

    ‘I saw a new born baby with wolves all around it’ A cool summer evening, cold pink wine in paper cups, a black band preparing to dance in bare feet and Bob Dylan’s voice tearing the air with the chill message of A Hard Rain’s A-gonna Fall. The Zawose Family have lost a lot since…

    I am just wondering how to write about last night’s event when I discover Rob has beaten me to it. He must have been up a lot earlier than me today because he has already posted pictures and words about a sampling session at Out of the Blue in the Old Drill Hall capturing the…
