Leaning off a ladder twenty feet in the air, we raced the fading light and my spinning head from vertigo to get fifteen lanterns safely hanging in their tree. Rejecting kind offers to go up the ladder in my place, I stubbornly hung each lantern from the branches of a huge evergreen. Each night I dragged my assistant/ spokesperson (while occupied up a ladder)/ official photographer away from the music and the beer to light each one in turn. I was so pleased with how they looked I didn't get even slightly furious when one was broken.
Thanks for everyones help and support, especially Dave, even though I would let him climb that ladder, thanks to End of the Road for having me and for lovely weekend.
