Wickerman Festival

Today I vanish for a few days, to enjoy the Wickerman Festival.
Should be a fun time, not many bands there that I'm really interested in but, hey, anything sounds good to me after one-or-ten cold-ones!

There's tons of kids activities and traditional banter to be had, let the festivities begin! After the 5 hour bus-ride with three complaining children... $:-\$

Enjoy your weekend, all, I will!

have fun, whatever the weather!

Even if ther weather is crap, which it probably will be this weekend. Take a camera. The clouds in the UK are magnificent at the moment.

If the kids moan, you'll always have Ray Mears and Bear Grylls stories to fall back on, whilst you try and heat up that tin of beans and sausages on a fire of belly button lint from a spark off the ol' flint 'n steel...

All the best chap.

(I don't know anyone on the line-up. What does this say about me?)

Cheers, everyone. I'm broken.

I got loads of photos, obviously. Here's one of me and the kids at the foot of the bugger:

I'll make a page of my own and pop up the best images from the festival, these are just some shots of Mr Burns.

So, aye. The music was OK, the food and drink was ridiculously overpriced and under-portioned, the weather was very nice, until Saturday, which was wet all day but, beautifully dry and foggy at night for the burning.
A great time, kids loved going to the rock shows, the eldest(11) charging through crowds towards the stage fronts! Wooooo!

We've a year to recover, both physically and financially!
