It seems incredible to me that we only left Towersey a week ago, had a very hectic week and Towersey was extremely hectic. A truly fantastic festival, so much going on all the time, its difficult to choose what to do or who to see. The activities are brilliant for the children, hardly saw Jack at all, he was up each morning before me to take part in his craft workshops and Dennis spent most of his time at the shooting roots workshops, culminating in a great show comprising of theatre, music and a ceildh.
Of the music i saw, Show of Hands..awesome especially with Miranda Sykes. Dr Faustus..everything I expected and better, great shame they are disbanding. Tickled Pink..saw them twice and have been elevated to band of the year for me, great fun, great music very exciting,.. you've got a beautiful baby Simon. Whapweasel, another big sound big fun band, and many many more. Oh yes, Jack absolutly loved the Chipolatas, who allowed him and his friend backstage where they signed almost anything!!
The weather was great once we had got over Thursdays hail and thunderstorm.
Campsites very good, though the loo's not quite so good as Cropredy, not as many of them and no blue tardis's. Showers free!!
Food stalls many and varied.
security, second to none. Everywhere you went your name band was checked and I heard no reports of any trouble.
Altogether an excellant long festival weekend, which I will definatly be attending again next year along with Cropredy.
It was lovely meeting up with Issy and her very lively boys again, also Simon Frisby(still waitng to hear from you!) and the ubiquitous Chris!!

P.S. Dennis managed to persuade me to buy him a new acoustic guitar for his birthday/C******** present while we were there, so we don't have to go through the same palava as last year!!
