Lost in the Woods Festival III

I have been led astray this weekend!!!
Great weekend at the Lost in the Woods gathering III but seriously folks I have learnt things I never imagined I would need to know! And as a consequence have probably acquired some more bad habits!!!

Introduced and now hooked on a new hard liquor - never before tasted!!  Then the discovery of 'nice' flavoured crisps!!! which were never entertained before, and then to top it all - led on to eat real meat sausages which I haven't done for years... hard to go back to good old Linda McCartney's now!!!!

Excellent entertaining weekend with a mixture of old and new pals in a field not too far a way at a wee local music festival.  Great live music, pretty good dance tent and even tunes from DJ Yuri Cosmos back at our psychedelic camping area.  Our camp was brill we had spinning disco balls , fairy lights, blow up palm trees, pineapples ....


little video of our campsite disco...

We watched a beautiful sunset overlooking the valley from the Sentry Standing Stone Circle (circa  1996 but still lovely) and Dr Fred even managed a sunrise from the same spot.  Probably overindulged in pangalaticgutbusting cocktails, still not sure was in it but it was a very attractive frothing blue colour... tbh in my humble opinion it looked better then it tasted....


The weather was amazing - the only downside was there were rather a lot of small black beetles which got everywhere... in your mouth, food, drink, armpits, cleavage..... but better sun and beetles then rain and mud...

We met some really nice people and had a very chilled weekend lying in a field in the sun listening to good tunes... looking forward to doing it all again next year.

Scotland part 2

The second half of the week continued in much the same vein.  We had one rainy afternoon which was actually quite nice to be holed up in the house with the rain lashing the windows.  It probably wasn't quite so nice for the two visitors that came on their bikes but they're tough cookies - and its only water- but I did feel sorry for them having to cycle six miles back down the track in the wind and rain, but given Scotland,  it wasn't as bad as it could be. The big quest for the 2nd half of the week was to find some deer antiers!  The chap that owned the house dropped in to visit - he was a very friendly fella and was chatting about how this was the time of year when all the Stags lost their antlers (he collected them and sold them) so after that we were on the serious lookout.   It's always been Fred's mission to find some dropped antlers....  The Monro baggers continued with the mission to bag the remaining three Monros... there is discussion as whet...

Vigo

We left the ship to explore Vigo. Its a much larger place then we expected... although tbh I hadn't given ut a lot of thought. Its a real mish mash of old and new and having got a map from tourist info we decided to follow the walking trail to the Monte Castro... the highest point of the town.  Most of the town was pretty much as everywhere else... lots of traffic... lots of people... one or two interesting buildings and a lot of shopping. We headed to the art gallery - this has been a year of gallery visits so we we seen o reason to change now.  The Museo de Marco is housed in the towns ex prison building and its very grand. In fact, I think that on this occaision the building might have been more interesting than the art....  Although the visiting exhibition by Susanne S D Themlitz was strangely compelling. It was a huge varied collection of eclectic items... found, salavaged, manipulated and arranged in lots of ways - weirdly inspiring - and mostly enjoyable to look at...

verdant lushness

Its a never ending island hop... today we hopped of the boat at Kingstown, on the island St. Vincents and Grenadine. Once through the usual port duty free - cheap booze and diamonds to go milarkey we were straight into the town... crazy noisy smelly chaos... refreshingly no tat shops for tourists, just local markets and street traders all vying for local sales.  Music blasting from everywhere, cars (very battered and often very pimped) all over the roads - parked in the middle of the street, loading, unloading, chatting seemingly oblivious to the total traffic jam caused behind them...  We walked through this mayhem - the temperatures were rising probably about 30 degrees - tourists evident by trying to walk on the shady side of the street - even when we turned off the main drag and there were less people it was still like carnival time with music blasting everywhere. Its very atmospheric and mostly promotes a good vibe although I have heard '3 little birds' everywhich way a...
