| Mr Fox, 20 foot high, wonderful! |
(slightly too young for Woodstock, slightly too old for Glastonbury)
Such fun though!
Loreena Mc Kennitt was amazing.
My children call it " Mummy's Flutes in the Forest Music" .
This encompasses all the music I like , from Loreena to Blackmore nights and even extending to Jethro Tull. (Heavy Horses)
Nonetheless, this was fantastic. Actually got to meet Loreena.
Told The Hubby to be on the ready to take millions of photographs.
Not so much.
Suddenly he was a massive fan, shook hands, said lovely things to Loreena and handed the camera to designated dof person who recorded my big moment with Loreena with a shot of me looking like a total tit.
Angelique Kidjo was amazing, as was Joan Armatrading, Kan, and all the acts we managed to see...
Angelique performed some Miriam Makeba music...was something else!
And then down came the rain.
And hail.
And thunder.
Was hysterically funny as the Poms shrieked every time there was a wee thunder roll.
There were about 1000 of us squished into the Crabbies tent (alcoholic Ginger Beer ).
The Hubby and I laughed every time anyone screamed.
Fab Pom person started a singalong
We had, admittedly, and uninformadably drank a pint of cider each.
I said to the cider person, "How much is a pint?"
She said £3.
I actually meant "How much is a pint?
It is almost a liter
The Hubby should have known better.
We were somewhat trashed for about an hour.
Still and all, I have learned many lessons:
Do not think the weather will be fine even if it is so wonderful when you leave the house that you apply sunscreen.
Take Wellies to a music festival. You will need them at some stage.
Don't laugh at the Poms. They understand the rain. They know how to have fun and come prepared. You as non Poms know nothing.

| Poor shoes, OK, now I understand the Wellie thing! |
