Ferry Meadows II

It’s really nice here. I’m sitting with my book and a beer, watching rabbits and squirrels.

It’s just a shame that the circumstances weren’t different.

Frogs legs

Earlier today, while waiting for my second in command to pick me up from Ferry Meadows, I watched a very old cat eat frogs. Well, I only saw it eat one, but it had begun stalking a second.

Wifi

After three days at Glastonbury, then yesterday and today in Peterborough, with the worst ever 3G reception, it’s rest to discover that this campsite has pretty good wifi. It’s just a shame it took me a day and a half to notice.

Human nature

At what’s turned into a pretty horrible time, it’s reassuring how nice some people can be. But times like this also bring out the selfish, self centred characteristics in others. I’ve completely lost faith in a few people I’d believed to be decent.

Peterborough

I should mention that I’m currently in Peterborough, having left Glastonbury this morning. It’s a very sad, emotional time right now and we needed to be here.

Glastonbury

Despite thunderstorms, mud and sunburn, Glastonbury’s an amazing experience. A couple of pictures, delayed due a pretty awful 3G signal; our hire van, which we now love very much, our campsite and an evening view of the Pyramid stage (while Elbow were playing.

I have pictures taken with a real camera; these may follow when I’m home.

Sunderland

Yesterday, we went to Sunderland. Our main reason for being there was a visit to the dentist, but we do rather like the Isis. So we had to call in.

And then I introduced my second in command to what used to be the Clarendon. A pub with a view.
