I was typing this post only to be distracted by (i)wikipedia; and (ii) a call from mum. Very legitimate, I feel. More on tonight’s gig tomorrow as it is late and I’ve still a campsite to setup but suffice today the MacLean’s bookseller family of Amanda, Simon and Max were more than lovely hosts. I [...]
