We recently had the good fortune to welcome US artist friend Sarah Costanzo of PA to our UK shores! We took her to I Do Believe for the Falling Leaves Ceremony and then wisked her quickly back to Orkney, off the north Scottish coast where we live! She had a great time and was then going to head south once more with me to attend Witchfest in Croydon where we were sharing a stall together.

The day after Witchfest, I took her around the many wonderul sites of London, and as we walked along the subway of a tubestation, we heard the music of a busker getting louder. So I suggested to Sarah that she might like to put some money in his guitar case as she went by, and also (very craftly of course) said that is was a very British tradition that as you put your money in the hat or case, you give a great big bow to the musician who is entertaining you! Of course this is not really true, but I wanted to see if she fell for it! And yep, she did! Full hook line and sinker!! I could not hide my laughter and was duelly belted for my antics!! But it was worth it!! American artists please therefore note: Do not let me take you around London!!!
