Message from GLORIA.(channeled thru Chris Davies)
"Now that my touring life has come to an end I just want to say what an absolutely brilliant 13 years I've had travelling the world, meeting thousands of people and feeding hundreds of little piggies. I've had some great adventures including having my tail nicked at a festival in Bruge and losing a nipple in Amsterdam, but it always turned out well in the end. I also enjoyed listening to the different kinds of music that was played in the van on epic journeys and especially loved hearing stories by John Shuttleworth and Garrison Keillor, so many great memories.
Mostly though I want to thank all the the people who have loved and cared for me in all those years, keeping me safe from harm, sheltering me from rain and snow and cooling me down in baking sunshine, so to Edward Taylor, Sue Auty, Ali Wood, Steven Gumbley, Scott Tomlinson, Sonya Moorhead, Mary O'Neill, Mary Gerardine Hooton, Jack Lockhart, Jiminy Hip-Hop, Katy-Anne Bellis, Toots Chitty, Tom Byrne, Jonny Quick, Christian Greenhalgh, Claudia Jazz Haley, Anne Tucker, Esther van Wageningen, (I know there's more but my memory is fading) Big Gigantic Love to you all……I'll never forget you xxx
PS. and to Chris Davies who had the hardest job of all keeping everything in order in the farmyard. Oink."
