Rendall Harvest Home

01.20 hrs and the band plays on.  A superb night of dance music from the Ronald Anderson Dance Band - scintillatingly fast. As rumoured Mrs Dingwall has a discete tattoo,  only revealed when she went A-o-T in the Eightsome Reel.  Saw plenty of folk we hadn't seen for two years.  The communal, rejoicing spirit, was palpable.  Canadian Barn Dance / Dashing White / Britannia Two Step / Westray One Step / Eva Three Step / Strip the Willow and many more. It was selt oot well before it started.  Both Erland and Erlend were there.  And Donita.  Steven Flett (pianist) travels sooth next week with Colin Wilson (on drums) to bring home a new boat from Islay.  A sit down meal with post- terpsichorian soup and sandwiches on departure. Too busy burling to take pics.  Apologies to CL for the extremely grainy pic.  So no change there.

It has to be recorded that the Current Mrs Creel is so good to dance with.  She has a lot to put up wi'.  My scrotum dropped in the Quadrilles; thankfully its detachable. CMC popped in her handbag.

Earlier Dougal, and his minder, had attended Creel HQ for an overdue update.

More dancing tonight in St Magnus Centre, Kirkwall.  7.30 - see you all there.

Ian Ure is 82.  He's never been to Rendall.
