Drove to Ipswich late morning (no rush - it was a day off). The hotel was out of town, nice and quiet.

Had dinner with Hank and Carol, it’s been sandwiches for about two weeks so an early meal in the hotel restaurant was well overdue.

Spent time talking about the life of Django Reinhardt (next time I’m near a good bookshop I’ll get the biography Hank has read).

Again, not much luck getting online but found a table and chair outside the box office (a portacabin) to write these notes.

As we are near to the main ferry links to Europe, we had lots of fans over from Holland and it was good that we had time to speak to them. In fact, we have had people from many parts of the world come to see us, mostly from Europe but also from Japan, Canada and the USA. Sometimes the tour schedule means that we have to travel to the next town to do press and radio or to just be in one hotel for two or three nights to get cleaning done. Checking in and of a Hotel can sometimes take an hour or more so we would rather drive overnight with no traffic and have the following day to ourselves. This means that sometimes we don’t get to say hello to everyone. Most of the regular fans understand this and are a great support but unfortunately,you can’t please all of the people all of the time!

The show was one of the best and I think I have found some form to 'Little B' at last.
