We spent this weekend camping at The End of The Road Festival. After the death of Elf we really needed something to look forward to and this came at just the right time.
Using Tangerine Fields was not without it's problems. My previous attempt to organise our own arrangements is now the stuff of legend so I thought I'd leave it to the professionals this time. Unfortunately, when your air bed goes flat in the middle of the night, it's the professionals who have the foot pump and they were off duty until the morning - ah well!
The Garden Stage
Anyway, the sun shone, people smiled and we relaxed and enjoyed the music. With 4 stages to choose from you are bound to stumble across a little gem and in between gigs there is plenty to explore although as we discovered, just sitting, chatting, whilst the next band set up had it's rewards as a pea hen and her chick wandered by.
We later discovered the peacock admiring himself in the chrome leg of a chair in the Healing Gardens where you can get get anything from Reiki to Reflexology to Sports Massage (helpful for the cricked neck you're bound to get after a couple of nights sleeping on an air bed (inflated or otherwise!)
The Trivial Pursuits Tree where you can test yours and others general knowledge
Product of the origami workshop hung up for passers by to admire.
There was also a Cinema, Comedy in The Woods, a fairy light woodland walk and a photo booth where a hidden artist drew your picture through a 2 way mirror and posted the results through the slot passport photo style - genius!
