A last minute Netherlands catch up with legend Bluegrass & Country facilitator Pieter Groenveld & partner just before scooting back to Oz!
Now here is someone who has met pretty much all the wandering Bluegrassers of the world and even historic recordings from Tamworth under his belt!
He loaded me up with a rich collection of favourite gatherings in the Netherlands from all over!

A sudden alt route was created by my time reading/ comprehending tardiness so we flew back through Finland!
Quite the City view into Helsinki!

Oh! The Art from all Minds!

Bit of a sucker for Lego!

Even Guitar Pick Flooring!!

First recipient of the prezzies from Pieter Groenveld was my Mechanic & Banjo fiend Mick Harrison, preparing my Van yet again for the long roads ahead!

Easter lead up cheer outside our fav road food stock up shop in Coburg, Melbourne – Al Alamy!

Traveler friends Sophie here & Barney led us to ConFest for the first time – just on VIC border near Moulmein just off The Murray River. A unforgettable time with so many realms of folk a real treat to be part of!

Easter Sunday fun – lifting the spirits of all passers by with a full score of 10 regardless of body style or persuasion 🙂 We thought a few minutes would be fun  – 2 hours later was still good fun!

Eventually it was back to the “Road”

St Albans Folk Fest up the McDonald River from Wisemans Ferry!

From Strings to Mayhem same stage minutes apart 🙂

And what seems an intimate moment in one view …..

We Mavericks with Trent Arkleysmith sharing with Clermont
