Finally and at long-last, we had a short break down at Kielder Forest. Most welcome and enjoyable I must say, in spite of the somewhat variable weather. (It's also a holiday that had been booked almost 3 years ago..... and oh man - was it welcomed!)
Took the opportunity to pen a new tune (I say "pen"- there is actually no score sheet, it's all in the head LOL - besides, it's a simple little tune, easy to pick up and play by ear if you want to!)
You'll find it here - (and I hadn't really noticed the bird-song until I edited it down)
I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh - 
Please make your own, different mistakes, and help us all learn :-)

@BillyG That was fantastic. The video was great. I love the title. The music, om-gosh, was fantastic and how much did the bird charge you to play backup for you? Simply wonderful. Thank you for sharing that with is. A breath of spring air!

@BillyG -
MAGNIFICENT PERFORMANCE!
Breathtaking... and the trees provided you
a wonderful acoustic setting, too.
I can never get enough of your Fiddling -
guess you'll have to go on Holiday more often!
...package up that backing track -
you'd make your fortune.
Thank you, Billy.

@Mouse, @ABitRusty, @stringy, @ELCBK, @Mark - Thanks folks for your kind words!
Yeah, the birdies deserve some thanks as well LOL. They had actually gone relatively quiet - the video was filmed around 7am and it had turned somewhat overcast. At sunrise (around 4:30am or so) it was clear and sunny and the dawn chorus was deafening!
Emily - for Kevin - there is great fishing there, and, in the past I have done some shore fishing. Although I enjoy fish, Debbie is not a great fan and just dislikes the smell of the cooking (even when wholly fresh!). I can't be bothered with the "catch and return" way of fishing - if I catch it - I'd want to eat it ROFL. Kevin - there's some info here about the local fishing - https://www.watersideparksuk.c.....r/fishing/
So, I'm still busy with other things, but I'm taking a few more weeks-off at home before it's back to real life. Maybe get another couple of tunes done!

@BillyG -
...just cook the fish outside, downwind - "...it'll be grand" (Leap Year 2010 film - sorry, not Scottish)!
Thanks for the info!
Glad you're back for a bit!
Can't wait to hear more of your wonderful tunes!
