*Wanted*
2 or 3 Sudbury locals to come and test out my new English dance swords before we go off to camp next week! My dear husband is making me a set & we have to figure if they have enough bend in them to be able to make the sword lock (see video) before they are sanded & finished. Let me know if you're free sometime this week (in the eve).

Thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone! Ended up being a lovely day with all kinds of cake. Had a special lunch made for me & had some rehearsal songs for Earth Day, then the wonderful (not so) Slow Session came over to play some tunes in the eve. Thank you to my sweet friends who spoiled me with surprises 💕 N.B. pls don't be alarmed trad friends - no djembe was played at the Slow Session.... we just had to move it out of the way of the cello....plus it was handy as an extra table! 🤣 (Lou Hayden)
