Oh gosh rebelfreak1! That's so darn generous!! I'm gobsmacked at the moment. Will be all day I imagine. Your generosity will float me through my shift at work tonight!
I don't yet have tickets for Leamington Spa though, my tickets I bought are for the Wavendon gig. I don't suppose that should make much of a difference though? It looks like a bit of a drive, but back here at home my neighbor city of Rochester is about 2 hours away as well, and we go visit it sometimes. Logistics of in-country travel should be less work to get me there then it was to get my plane ticket sorted out, lordy!
Everything about this trip is sounding so wonderful and I look forward to putting faces to names and making some new friends!
pablo fanque- Thank you for your kind words. It's been a rough couple of months. There's so much involved in how my father passed its going to be rather difficult to process when everything settles down. Right now I'm in such "go mode" because the house he left is in such disrepair. It's all I do now, cleaning and fixing. Your thoughtful comment was very welcome.
Thank you everyone! We'll of course be in touch!!
