Usual mix of (a bit of) mud and rain but then sunshine, music, fun and frolics at Beautiful Days.
Being part of the Oxfam stewarding squad* gives added oomph to the experience: when you've done three long eight hour shifts you feel you've earned the right to enjoy the rest of it.
Even managed a walk round the narrow Devonshire lanes:
a mystery tour - not sure where I was going but followed my nose and an intriguing sign for 'Sherwood' and ended back where I started from - a perfect five miles or so to bring me back to base though no sign of Robin Hood.
Amazing music (Frank Turner, Katzenjammer and the Levellers to name the highlights), fireworks and dancing.What better way to spend some time.
And, moving on, today, the quite fabulous Giffords Circus** in a small village in Gloucestershire.
*Oxfam raised £30,000 just at this one festival due to our efforts: see www.oxfam.org.uk/Stewarding if the idea appeals

Meanwhile onwards and upwards to the next field.
