I didn't update a single website page or blog yesterday. I continued to walk around the Potteries before heading towards Birmingham and Droitwich where I am staying with my brother Mike and his wife Doreen.
I didn't leave Stoke without the other Potteries delicacy of Staffordshire oatcake. And I didn't leave Stoke without a surprise when Mike and his grandson Alex appeared at the railway station.
Mike and I went to a gig at Birmingham Town Hall last night. It was to celebrate the 65th birthday of Dave Pegg who has performed in three guises in the Isle of Man, as a duo with PJ Wright, as a member of the Dyland project and three times with the band he has been with for the past 41 years, Fairport Convention.
The photo was when Dylan Project frontman Steve Gibbins, who has probably played in the Isle Of Man with his old band thirty or more times, joined Fairport for the finale - Like a Rolling Stone.
With the Rolling Stones touring again, former Jethro Tull man Pegg (who specialises in being in more than one band at a time) reaching 65 and his old Birmingham mate Steve Gibbins rocking at 71, it was one night I felt quite young!
I planned this weekend after cancelling my trip to the Amsterdam Marathon which I had to time to adjust to pulling out of. I'm sorry for those people who have travellled to the New York Marathon only for the event to be cancelled.
