Laying in the Kids Field watching the world go by

With a couple of hours til the next band we want to see, DD has insisted on a spell at the merriment put on for the kids. She is playing on the crazy bikes near the Breastival Temple and Baby Chill Out Tent. We have eaten our weight in churros and last night had a fabulous pie with mash, from Pieminister. Now the barbecue at River cottage smells good, but i nned to leave room for WI cakes and tea later; should a festival really include this much eating?

luckily towing a trolley around is keeping me fit, excellent for the late night stuff when DD sleeps in it, and during the day i drop a side down and use it as a sofa.

today is fancy dress day, started rainy, now sunny and some great costumes around. A camel in a tutu just walked by.

we saw mr tumble earlier, and dick and dom. But later it's all about mark ronson.

oh and eliza doolittle, oh and house of pain ;-)

Comedy at camp bestival

Writing this while listening to some bloody hilarious standup. (Ben Norris) There is a phenomenal amount of swearing and sex jokes and my 11 yo daughter is loving it (as am i) we are awaiting the genius that is Matt Kirshen, but not all comedy is of the professional variety... Some thing i overheard yesterday

(on a 4yo reaching for a water bottle for a drink) "not that one Oscar, thats the vodka"

oh and Matt, yeah we would laugh if you bled, i'll be setting the traps as suggested.

In addition; names

I need to add Zara, Ruby, Sebastian, Jasper, Matilda and another Freya

I seriously love camp bestival

Prepare for lots of tiny blog posts, when signal allows

Middle class festival

I'm loving camp bestival. And one of the things i like most is spotting middle class kids names. Don't get me wrong, i'm middle class and very guilty of picking a pretentious name for my daughter, maybe that's why i enjoy the game of spotting others. We've been here 4 hours and so far have
Oscar, Lily, Rosie, Amber, Freya (3 of those), Alexandrina, Poppy, Finn,

Quick Update on Magpie Monday

Remember my lusts on Magpie Monday?

Well guess what?

My husband is a darling and bought my some gifts



A rather super felted bag and two silver bangles.

Aren't I lucky!
