Well, who'd have thought it? What started as a vague idea last November and travelled onwards, narrowly avoiding major flooding, and being derailed by an incompetent hire company, ended up as the totally wonderful weekend that I never imagined would be possible.Thank you so much to everyone who made it happen.
It all started when we left Ippy on Thursday lunchtime and arrived at Hardhurst Farm six hours later, by which tine I was in urgent need of codeine and a big fat spliff. Believe me, my arthritic hip had not enjoyed being bounced along the M1, and part of my head was telling me that I was stupid for even imagining that that my body was going to going to get through this. Oh me of little faith.
But then Heth and Hexy arrived, so party on! (Well, you know Heth - wherever she goes, the party's not far behind)As Friday dawned, so did the realisation thaat this was gonna be cool - the cafe was good (and cheap, a major concern of Stefan's), the weather was good and, as everyone started to arrive, I started to perk up considerably.
My personal highlights included - getting to spend quality time with my mates and their gorgeous kids,
watching Anton explain putting up a tent to Stefan without losing his temper, Heth's duffle coat, the mudslide boys, and the feeling of being at our own personal festival. What do you remember?
OK, enough words, more pictures.......
all these black and white ones taken by Tim a(exept this colour one which IS Tim)<

Right then, I could go on adding photos ad nauseum, but I wouldn't want to get boring...............so all I'm gonna say is cheers everybody, it was fucking wonderful - how about Southwold next summer?????
