Life at the airport

So, here I am sitting in Guernsey airport at the beginning of our favourite tour. This is now the fourth time Hatstand have been to the Channel Islands, and it's my sixth time. On paper it's an horrendous schedule - 8 concerts in four days on four different islands. fly to three but the fourth is only accessible by boat. But in reality, it's incredibly well organised, and we get to stay with some lovely people. We are driven everywhere, and fed extremely well. Hurrah.

In fact this time we have only 4 concerts plus 2 workshops, and we have 5 days to do them in. What a luxury. We're staying with the same people on Alderney - Kate and John - who have put up with us each time. They are excellent hosts so we're all looking forward to seeing them this evening. Unfortunately Margaret on Sark has a house full, so I'll be staying next door. We'll be playing in the new island hall again on Sark.

Just about to get on the plane, (it's a 12-seater where the pilot hands out the earplugs). Cosy.
