Ok so after have the chance to get up to Uberstaff and meet all the loverly Irish folk that went, ive decided that they are all so nice that they should be visited very soon.



If not only to steal more staff trix wink



So far they have kindly offerd places to stay, but are not sure on numbers but we are all grown ups and ive started this here so we can be a little organised.



Im thinking the weekend of the 17th June we fly over and come back on the Monday , then we can have much harcore spinnage on sat and sunday along with much tea drinking and doobie making smile



Call it a tribute to Uberstaff cool



So what i would like to know is who in ireland can make it to Dublin that weekend, and who in the Uk wants to come with me biggrin



So far the list of the UK attacking team is:



Frodo

2bags

Strugz

Dunc (in spirit)

Birgit

MCP

Skully

Vixen

Nate



So any other takers? flying from gatwick return will be max £40 if we book in next few weeks! smile the earlier we can decide the cheaper it will be!



Let the dissciussion begin weavesmiley

that's where they are... for those who don't know what to do with it, right-click on the file name and then go "save as".

The higher numbers are fire-/glowpoi-/aerotech pictures, but they're in no particular order... sorry smile

Hello all you lovely people. Just back from Tara last night. What a week.

Thankyou to you all for coming over it was a truly lovely and hilarious time. Nice one Fabby for the uber organising, good mission, thankyou to everyone that made is possible. Strugz... hug

We stayed out there till yeserday (i found out the time yesterday at half seven for the first time in five days). in Helens house now making having a nice relaxing time with all the modern conveniences (shower ubblove). the solstice was amazing, tara is amazing and the camp with the tepee, gas oven and open kitchen... well what can i say, dinner is served. biggrin

Fluffy, massive hugs for the giggly standing on headiness with optional staff attached smile

hug's for all those in the three man tent wink and yay! for invisible contact

UCOF smile Skully smile Molly smile

and the faeries who put up our tent wink

all in all, a very good first step into my new found unemployment. thankyou to everyone last one of you for giving me the chance to share it with you.

sorry we didnt get to say goodbye to alot of you guys. we were asleep outside at the bottom of the field all morning and the whole camp was gone when we came back!!!

more hugs and much love from myself and my little princess.

see you soon

Love is the law.

hello beautiful people grouphug

was away with the faeries for a wee while longer wink just got back last nite

well, what can i say...

can i start with being quite frank and saying what a FANF*CKINGTABULASTICALLY AMAZING weekend you all helped create. thank you ALL, every single one of you, very very much indeed for taking the initiative, effort & time to make it all possible

the gigantic ring of fire at the stone of destiny on saturday nite will remain etched on my mind till the end of my days, it's right up there with my most memorable moments ever! i truly believe that the thunder & lightning which came out of nowhere was an applause from higher powers above clap

it was also my BEST SPIN EVER biggrin

i think the only person to film on the saturday night was declans mate (can't remember his name, sorry) but he promised he'll make copies and send them on, can't wait to see that biggrin

everyone's pics look fab! could i get some copies please? not sure if large files will send to my hotmail but give it your best shot and i'll let you know. addy is in my profile.

matty, one of your pics looks like cameron buggering colleen eek what was going on there and how did i miss that??

and barry, what were you doing in the salad? 'salade du champignons' no doubt wink

oh and by the way, i have someone's grey hat and blue sleeping bag. not sure who owns the s-bag, think the hat might be dec's though...

and someone asked about Sinéad, the girl with the beautiful voice? she's not a HoPper, yet. myself and cameron were out busking one night and she just came over and sat down and sang for us. she wants to learn poi though (wahey!) and will be registering soon i'm sure biggrin

right then, all you fabulous faerie folk, gotta go and do some worky type stuff (5 more working days!!!!)

hug2

peace

My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely smile

oops sorry - i don't think i've ever watched that video with the sound on redface

i can recommend van morrison's album 'astral weeks' if you want similar(ish) stuff (the tracks 'madame george' and 'cyprus avenue' are especially good smile).

otherwise i guess you'll have to keep looking...

really looking forward to the video.
