Let Me Tell You A Story, Straight and True
So, we organise a show
featuring the greatest talent Boot Hill has at its
disposal, and the whole thing goes swimmingly. The
following day, after attempting to swipe a vintage
Fender Rhodes from Femi Kuti (only kidding Femi...),
we hit the road, cars packed with flight cases and
speakers, in order to deliver said equipment back to
whence it came in Sherborne. Jake, sound man
extraordinaire, foolishly agrees to join Nick and I
in this mission, which we promise will take 3 hours
'maximum'. As we cruise up the A30, Tom Waits
crooning from the Peugeot's stereo, I suddenly feel
the need for some caffeine and suggest that we
should, perhaps, stop in Honiton for a hot beverage
before continuing. Having phoned Nick in the car
ahead to proffer this suggestion, we pull off the A30
and into Honiton where we discover this:

Trust me, this took a lot longer than it should have.
Thanks goes out to Boston Tea Party for their
excellent Paninis, Honiton Dairy for agreeing to
store the Bimble Inn PA, and Michael Goodden for his
contribution to the Boot Hill suntan slush fund.
