with more to come
Yesterday turned out to be a cracker. we started partying at around 10am. White wine and prosecco with sausages and bacon sandwiches. Fair play. I switched on some jazz on Spotify using the van’s stereo and my phone and we eased into the day.
It was probably 1.30 before we headed for the festival and chilled all day listening to various bands on the Obelisk stage. At 4.30ish I headed to the BB Introducing stage to see the Shannon Reilly Trio. It was a very nice surprise to see Tom Whitworth as guest trumpeter. Tom was Joe’s trumpet teacher until he left school.
We ended the day around the campfire (our firepit) until 2am and hit the hay.
This morning there was no rush. We had all day to get home and figured we would give the traffic a chance to die down. Before setting the compass north we went into Southwold and had a picnic lunch on a bench at the beach.
The drive home was hot and sticky but at 55mph we didn’t get a rush of wind with the window open so it was comfortable enough. Before going home we stopped at Tesco and bought some chicken an salad for the bbq. With it being the hottest day of the year so far we considered it appropriate to eat in the back garden.
Tomorrow I am in London and the forecast is for 32degrees Centigrade. Shorts weather.
