Will we get the weather? Can you guarantee the Glastonbury experience, can you guarantee rain? I won't come unless it's p*ss**g down. It just won't do unless we're all huddled under a cheap umbrella trying to keep the BBQ alight.

Shetland is a hell of a long way from Suffolk. Have been to Scotland, and the Isle of Skye. Would love to go again, but can't see it happening any time soon. If I win the lottery I'll come and visit, Jennie (if you'll have me)

As Kirsty said - we meet for coffee and a natter when we can (and we are well overdue one!!) I noticed Rustylady is also in our neck of the woods too...
