Moorland Morris Mayhem!

Ahhhhhh! Missed my alarm clock and managed to whizz up to the moors to catch one of the Morris Dancers who had been dancing at Haytor Rock to celebrate the first day of Summer. The ancient Celts and Saxons celebrated May 1st as Beltane or the day of fire. Bel was the Celtic god of the sun. Sadly I missed the dancing and the crew was just leaving on its way to celebrate a weekend of dancing at the Sweeps festival in Kent.
I was too late to collect the film crew who were gonna film it all properly but I had my pocket camera handy so I shot what I could... sorry about the wind!

A boat trip on the Thames 007 Style

Yesterday, after a 5am start, I headed for London to perform some Magic on a giant speed boat from the London Eye to the Millenium Dome. It was only an hours work but the travelling took ages and I arrived back to the Devon Den at gone midnight. Then straight to bed for another early start...

A new friend visits the garden!

Just before 10am i looked out the window and thought i could see a strange looking dog in the distance... I soon realised it wasn't a dog and grabbed my camera! Now i'm just waiting to see if one of those big cats pays me a visit too.

Dublin Crew

Just returned from a quick jaunt to see the Dublin Crew. Jody was in her first play and bought the house down. I watched Gemma play football in the freezing cold (she was one of only two girls playing) I was totally thrashed on the Wii but had a little revenge on the pool table. Spent 15 euros winning a Marge Simpson from one of those grabber machines and wrote 3 poems at the airport while waiting for my plane.
