Stuck in Fair Isle but still Over the Moon!

Well the Over the Moon November tour has certainly got off to a very exciting start...after playing our first gig at the Fair Isle Hall on Thursday night we have become stranded, with the weather closing in on da Isle!!

David ,Conrad, Gareth and myself although vexed that we have had to cancel Lerwick, Bogbain and Glenurquart gigs are enjoying all the fantastic hospitality of the Fair Isle folk .

We have so far had evenings filled with great food,company and music, and writing this on Saturday morning we have just had the launch of 9 year old Lowrie (Our hosts Lise and Ian..s son) and Conrads.. home made rocket!! The launch was spectacular travelling about 30 feet into the sky and covering all of the launch team in Vinegar and Bicarbonate of Soda.

Watching from the comfort of the hoose was Lise, myself, Annette (a visting friend from Edinburgh) and her 3 year old Torin, plus the family Bull - who found the whole thing highly amusing.

David spent most of last night tuning Lise..s piano and today him and Gareth are off helping with some sheepy matters.....more on this to follow!!

Life on the road is certainly not dull..................till next time....bye Catriona x
