Fantastic festival !!!

After working flat out on the guitar for a week, I thought I deserved a treat, so Friday found us driving the familar route down to my oldest daughter in Bromsgrove, in preparation to go to a festival for the weekend.

The Peace Festival was held in my old home town of Leamington Spa, and was somewhere I used to go on regular basis for many years when we lived there. The plan was to met up with old friends, some new ones off a forum I use, and met some new random people. For once the plan went perfectly lol.

The weather was amazing for the whole weekend, so long as you enjoy hot sunny weather ...which we do. For a small sized festival, this one packs in a huge amount of things to do. One main area for bands, a smaller area for bands where there was also poetry, and talks about various global issues, loads of workshop tents, display area's for dancing, alternative therapy tents and loads of very reasonably priced stalls.

It was brilliant to met up with some old friends that I hadn't seen for years, and catch up with all their news and to do the same in return. A little more nerve wracking for me was meeting up with some people from a forum I go on daily, but I needn't have worried they were all lovely !!

And a couple of new random friends.

Time marches on.

Time marches on and I keep getting distracted from writing on my blog, on a daily basis, like i usually do. But life's busy at the moment and something has to take a back seat.

A trip back to the doctors has resulted in me being sent for a x ray and being given a course of steroids ...6 a day to be taken all at once grrrrrr !!! This is due to take place on Thurs afternoon, I might just accidentally on purpose forget to go I think. I'm happier in my ignorance.

The front main part of the guitar is finished now, and I'm doing the beading up the neck of it now. This is a very time consuming, slow process as I use tiny seed beads, each of which has to be thread onto a very thin line for each seperate line of beads to keep them in place until I grout the guitar.

Today was our once fortnightly shopping day, which myself and my daughter usually hate with a passion. But today for a change I decided that maybe a trip out to Asda in Llandudno might make a nice change. I spent more money than usual I think, but we've got a few different dinners for a change. I also bought some hallomi cheese which I'd been told about over the weekend. This is a greek cheese which you can toast or fry and it stays solid. So tonight for my dinner I fried some of this cheese, with a salad of lambs lettuce, beetroot and some other type of lettuce that escapes me lol.
