He will be living in Northumberland. I hope he will tell me whreabouts he wants to sit. With any luck he will want to be close to my harvest lady!<br /><br />Oak is thye most appropriate wood, as he is also a representation of the Oak King, who "dies" at harvest.<br /><br />AndreaAndreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10798088665500568267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901657818628608827.post-3088243338528169472009-07-11T05:56:10.029-07:002009-07-11T05:56:10.029-07:00Of course - Traffic!

I will however try to track down the versions you stated and have a listen. Thanks for the comments.<br /><br />Robyn: A baton 'a piece of wood screwed to a wall to support a shelf'.

Mine is Fairport Convention's, though I like the Steeleye Span version too. Great idea. Fantastic execution. <br /><br />ChuckChuckThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02111791453321583025noreply@blogger.com
