Mish and I have spent the last week and a bit in NJ. We’ve been spending time with the Fawcett clan and hanging out with Cody the dog.
Although it’s been brilliant spending time with the in-laws the best thing about this holiday is simply being off work. We’ve tried not to over-extend ourselves so that we aren’t worn out by the time we get home. This time I think we’ll both be nicely rested and we won’t need a holiday from our holiday.
That being said we do have a road trip planned on Tuesday. Mish and I will hit the road to Crisfield, MD to visit my Banjo hero’s: Pat and Patrick Costello. As part of my birthday present this year, Mish got in touch with the folks that inspired and taught me to play (reasonably well) the banjo I got for my 30th birthday. She asked if we could co
me and visit and they were kind enough to invite us over to visit them during our trip to the US. I am in awe of these guys for their generosity of spirit in sharing their musicianship. I’ve lugged my banjo over the ocean to play a couple of songs with them – hopefully I’ll not make too much of an arse of myself.
We have just bought a shiny new Digital SLR camera for Mish’s birthday so look out for some photos from our trip soon. They’ll mostly be of Cody the dog although hopefully we’ll have some from our trip to Maryland too.
broon oot…
