We were sad to leave the misty moors, haunted castles, and peaty bogs of Scotland, but most especially the friends and the good times. We left Edinburgh early Saturday morning and since then we've been on an epic adventure to Ireland. We'll have to do a little catchup here...

First Stop - the Ireby Music Festival in Cumbria, in the North of England. A beautiful spot in the countryside, the Village of Ireby hosts the festival... And I mean hosts!!



The main stage is on the property of Ellenside, a beautiful house with a warm and inviting kitchen. Susan laid out fabulous food all day long and took care of us all with style. We listened to some great artists, Wes Finch and the Dirty Band, our good friends The Jaywalkers, Tatie Jam, Sam Carter, Elkie Brooks and many more! Then had a great jam with Danny and Katus! The whole village seems to get behind the event with venues at the church, the pub and the hall.
