Hello,
Good to meet you over the festival weekend. Cheers for the CD-its certainly interesting-and some of the songs are going to take a few listens! Good tip on Lupen Crook though-thanks for that.
Hope you’ve managed to catch up on some sleep. Good job you left sunday as we were kept up again by the jungle massive!!
take care-hopefully catch up again in the future

There was actually a Kidston (or at least, Kidstonesque) tent only a few metres away from mine. Its tasteful pastel green must have accessorised quite nicely with the pink camping wrist-bands. (On a related subject, the Mrs bought some Kidstonesque dishcloths the other day. I don’t care much for the design, but they are marvellously absorbent.)
No, my tent was of a much more pragmatic khaki-grey hue. Its distinguishing feature was that it’s self-erecting. It starts off as a large flat circle about 1m in diameter, but then you take off the big elastic band and throw it into the air and a second later a fully-formed tent lands on the ground. It’s rather magical.

So what sort of tent was it? a Cath Kidston flowery number? and you appear to have gone black round the edges. Must be something to do with the sun.
