Trowbridge Village Pump Festival 2008

Yes, it's that time of year again.... Time for our annual pilgrimage to Trowbridge for the festival (now no longer a folk festival.... now billed as a roots and world music festival, and most excellent it was too)

Despite quite a lot of work, Steve working with Stage 1 crew and me running the crew catering with the help of the fantastic Mary (and Eleanor and Angie capably making hundreds of teas and coffees for all and sundry) we still managed to see quite a lot of performances including the fantastic Vin Garbutt, Devon Sproule (she wears a lampshade on her head) and the inimitable Ben Waters (even if Eleanor did point out when we met him backstage after the show that his bum-crack was showing)

Eleanor had lots of fun with her friend from last year's festival, Lizzie....

I think they kept the Lucky Dip stall afloat between them. See a lovely picture of them together HERE

Enthusiasts can check out David's other photos of the festival here.

Nearly missed our flight home due to the unbelievable amount of traffic lights on Bristol Ring Road (grrrr).... we WERE the mad family running through the airport.

It's nice to be home. Our chickens were well looked after by our next door neighbours, and the veg plot has gone crackers - courgettes and runner beans on the menu for the next 3 months by the looks of things !!!
