Rainy Festival Weekend

Well what a weekend! I don’t know whether to laugh or cry about it yet. We didn’t get back until early Monday morning because the car got flooded in and stuck in the mud bath that was the Beautiful Days Festival car park! The festival was brilliant and we had lots of fun.

It hammered it down pretty much the whole time and on the first night the boy’s tent got flooded and they had to come in with Michael and I. It was very cosy to say the least. It was hopeless to try and dry the tent as there was no break in the weather so we resigned to sleeping with the boys the second night too. We moved all the bedding to the cars during the day just to be safe as we didn’t want anymore wet things!

The Levellers were the absolute highlight for me and they released a new album, Letters from the Underground earlier this month too so they played tracks from that. The kids were impressed that I knew the words to some of the older songs too.

So yesterday was a lazy day as we didn’t wake up until fairly late because of our late arrival home.

We made fairy cakes in the afternoon and are just about to eat them once I’ve posted this, so I’d better scoot quickly or there won’t be any left for me!
