a week of lost guests

yes, two times three and one times four one-nighters failed to turn up without any warning - so we sat up waiting and worrying - only one lot let us know that they were all right and apologised... well, never mind, one couple made it from Poland, at 1:30 am...
There was less bedding to wash... the annual village festival went well; the local council handed out the organising to the ethnic minority council (german) who organised - a Bellydancing Festival!!

So seven Bellydancing groups descended on Kiskassa from all over the Baranya county, they paraded through the village in their beautiful jingling and jangling bellydancing outfits. The music chosen was usually less of the traditional and more of the up-to-date arabian pop, which was good and lively. One group even blended Goth into their program, and there were plenty of gypsy contributions to the dance and to the participants and the spectators, a thoroughly friendly and open-hearted affair.
There was even a store selling hookahs and other eastern wears,
tea-tasting and lovely carpets/cushions, very well received by the locals.

Before all that there was the usual craft activities for the kids, henna tattooing and face-painting and the communal, very nice lunch, (as Jozsi the chef, of the biblical beard, is ill - and they moved to Pecs) - the meal was delivered by a caterer this time - very nice, 3 course treat.

now we are back to the middle of sweetcorn eating - I just can't have enough, I love it so... carrots processing, aubergines and of course, tomato season. They were under the weather - needed some spraying, against our principals, but they were dying - and now they are definitely feeling better...
