Are we the first back?
Great time, great weather, although a little misty this morning. ( mist of the glen, maybe?)
Alot more faces to names & great to meet old & new alike friends.
Usual crowd in the gazebo till the death
Didnt get to say goodbye to most, as we left when everyone was either laning or having a afternoon nap. (hello Nick)
A big thank you to all that helped & organised a fantasic meet, the Raffle was a roaring success as was the BBQ.
Off to bed now, will fill in more tomorrow.

for Scott - have been trying to find an online supplier for you !!!!
Riga Black Balsam is a strong, dark, scary Latvian booze made from a centuries-old secret recipe of things you can find in the forest. It has the consistency of crude oil and, to the untrained tongue, the bitter flavor of death, but Black Balsam is an acquired taste that pays off big. The first sip will make you shudder, but when you take your second sip and taste the hints of linden blossom, birch bud, valerian root, and raspberry, you'll see that it's really the flavor of life itself. In addition to its potency as booze (alcohol content: 45%), it's also said to have medicinal qualities, which, speaking from experience, means that it can make you well when you're sick, and sick when you're well. In the photo at right, the bottle on the left, with Latvian writing on top and Russian on the bottom (and the Riga skyline in the background) is about 20 years old, while the bottle on the right, with English on the label, is more recent. My sources complain that the Balsam made recently is a watered-down version of the classic bev. They blame the company's new ownership. After tasting the new stuff in the shot glass pictured, I can't really say for sure if it's the same or different, but it's still excellent, complex, warming, and mellow, and definitively worth trying if you have a chance.
The recipe was originated by Abraham Kunze, who, in the mid-18th century, concocted it from the medicinal recipes of 16th- and 17th-century Riga apothecaries. According to folklore, Empress Catherine the Great of Russia was cured by drinking Black Balsam after falling ill during a trip to Latvia, so it's got that going for it. And it comes in a thick brown ceramic bottle that, once emptied, would make a pretty nasty blunt weapon, but it's much better used as a funky candle holder.
I prefer to drink my Black Balsam (in Latvian it's called Melnais Balzams) neat, but some people think the flavor can only be improved with the addition of something, anything. To them, I suggest the simple recipe I learned from my friend Karlis Freibergs in an apartment in Old Riga in 1992: Balsam mixed with hot water and sugar, served in a coffee mug. Most bars and liquor stores in Riga will have it, and the factory gives tours too. So try it. Don't be afraid of the dark.

Had a brilliant weekend at my first Mega-Meet and met some great people. I won't name them all as it would be unfair to those whose names I can't remember! But special thanks to those who kept me in cups of tea and showed me what to do when laning on Sunday.
And a massive thanks to those unsung heroes who organised everything. Not just Mark, but everyone else who did the little things that added up to one great event.
Here's a few pics from Sunday's laning on the spectacular North Yorks moors:
Laning Pics
Also need to apologise to those folks I couldn't say goodbye to on Sunday evening as I shot straight off home after the laning. |
