Alternatively, "forget about your troubles and your strife". I'm just packing now to head to here for this, the Ceilidh Gall Gallowa' Mayfest, otherwise known as Knockengorroch Festival.

I went last year and really enjoyed it, even though it absolutely pissed down. I'd hoped to meet up with my brother (who lives in that part of the world, sort of), but I didn't give him enough notice. However, this time I should be able to catch with him at least for a while - he doesn't have a full weekend pass, as there's a new baby due real soon now, but all being well, we'll have our first pint and chat for almost two years(!).

Ceilidh Gall Gallowa' Mayfest

I wish I'd checked your LJ earlier! You could've popped by and said hi to [livejournal.com profile] tanais and me and the dawgs on your way down or back up... [pout]

Now then, when's Traquair beer festival? (Or have we missed that, too?)

Re: oh damn


I'd have loved to have taken the time to catch up. I had to hitch back on the Monday at some speed (evening job distributing survey forms), anyway. Saturday was pretty wet, but Sunday (which I think was free in) was glorious, so if you'd been able to make it down....

Traquair's usually later in the year - first weekend in August?

If all goes well, I hope to get to some more of the small Scottish festies - won't make Stonehenge this year, as it's a significant birthday for [livejournal.com profile] tigermoth, but hope to maybe get to Burningman (or Greenheart or Summer Smoke if they're on) and am definitely hoping to be at the Forest of Ae (aka "Autumn Knockengorroch") for the Equinox - the weather was fabulous last year!
