"the band played"

Oh my goodness! I have not blipped in absolutely AGES!!!!! The app stopped working on my phone and that used to make blips easier to upload every day rather than having to start up a 6 year old laptop which takes approx. 20mins to sort itself and decide it wants to live for another day! So here goes the massive back-blip in time for the New Year! 3...2...1....GO!!!!

After the fun and excitement of the previous few days it was so good to get on a plane home! And I wasn't even 24hrs at home before I was back to my routes and enjoying the Fermanagh Twelfth! A fun, family day out packed full of music and catching up with people you might not see from one year to the next.

The band in the photo is Ballinamallard Accordion Band. I used to play with them before I moved to Dundee, and it's not until I stand on the sidelines and watch them march past that I realise just how much I miss the band and the banter within the ranks when out on parade.

Parade finished - now time for that legendary Twelfth burger!!

It's good to be home!
