Punk festival in Blackpool was good.
Also I wasn't actually worn out at any point. Could probably have done a bit more than I actually did on the first couple of days, but I didn't want to end up dragging myself through the last couple of days and not appreciating things.
Think we all saw stuff we liked.
Made a couple of new musical discoveries, and ended up in the front row several times.
Camping at Hadrian's Wall last weekend was fun. Bit chaotic as it followed on so closely from getting back from the punk festival so packing was a bit random.
Made pottage, shot arrows, played with swords a bit and paddled in a river (and had to remove one small leech).
Everybody trod in cow dung at some point, since we were in a pasture, but there was long wet grass to clean it off on...
There were two farm dogs, one a bit grumpy and one incredibly friendly. Both obedient enough to stay out of the tents (and therefore away from the food etc).
August is very hectic with work as well as social stuff, but mostly in a good way.
