(L-R, Alice, Diva, Gonen, Keren, Holly, Denise, Rosie + 2 old hippies)
We arrived back yesterday from a most interesting, successful, weekend at the Beautiful Days Festival. The weather was rain, sunshine, rain and,let me see now, more rain. In actual fact it wasn't that bad, apart from the tent leaking a bit on Friday morning, and we soon sorted out any leaks with a cover over the top. When we arrived we had some time to spare, whilst they sorted out the pitch, and got talking to our neighbours, Denise, Holly, Alice and Diva. We mentioned we had a spare ticket going to waste and they suggested a friend of theirs, Rosie, come down and help us. We got set up quite easily but we're knacked by midnight and decided to chill and finish in the morning. Trade was good and by the time Rosie came we were glad of the assistance. Rosie was a fantastic help and a lovely person to boot !! Our neighbours on the other side, Gonen and Keren, from Israel, introduced themselves and offered very welcome cups of rooibos tea. Gonen plays and sells didges and takes workshops as well. Every morning we had about ten to fifteen people playing. Keren is an artist and was painting alternative tattoos on people, in glitter. We all got on really well. We saw loads of people of all types and persuasions, so many I will not be able to mention them all. Special mention goes to Amy Coulshaw and her sister, Amy gave us a CD of her beautiful music, Worm and Diane who voted us the best stall of the festival and everyone who gave us support and compliments over the whole festival. Most of all, our thanks go to Rosie, without whom we would have had a much less relaxed time. I shall post photos a few at a time, as I took about two hundred in all !!!
