the build up (6 days to go)

Wednesday 18th August - mad rush again. Tried out the tent last night - it's perfect (probably because it's hardly been used!). Still got to arrange insurance for the project and there's a couple of days at the end I have to sort out. I'm hoping to have some work (and hence some accommodation) in Portstewart. It looks beautiful around there. Good news - a camping barn in Cushendall has agreed to give me free accommodation, even though the proprietor is away! They have lots of storytelling and songs and sounds like a place of veritable hoolies! No early night for me. www.taleteam.demon.co.uk
