Secret Festivals

great visuals and lighting

Lost in the Woods gathering once again... in a secret location near Darlington, another pleasant weekend spent lounging about in the sun with good company.. my weekends are very varied at the moment, the Royal albert Hall, Natural History Museum and then a wee field in the middle of Teeside listening to dub music whilst lazing in my comfy deck chair.

notice there is fruit on the table!!!!

There were lots of different bands playing, lots of different DJ ing after hours but the highlight for me was defo Dr Freds first live spoken DJ set in partnership with DJ Horace Zontal.. what a pair!!! It was great live poetry with crazy backing space tunes at its best.

extremely effective alien on stilts - a tad scary

Meanwhile hovering around the site were Daleks and an alien creature roaming - all good entertainment - the weather was kind and the setting was grand... I have to say I do prefer music in a field but sometimes needs must and the show must go on, and if it had been raining I daresay I'd would have felt good about having an indoor venue!! The vibe in the festival field was great and its always a chance to meet some interesting and lovely characters...

bubble blowing dalek... noone was exterminated to my knowledge...

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.

Funchal

So after three days at sea we finally hit Funchal in Madeira. An escape from the ship, and I have to say it was very pleasant indeed. First of all the weather is really splendid. Especially when you know that everybody else in the UK is suffering grim storms and vile winds.. Over here it is between 22 and 25 degrees is really quite warm. Funchal is a pretty city. It's built on a hill it with lots of lovely white houses with stunning red roofs. In order to get the best of it we walked along the sea front until we got to the cable car and we took it up the hill. It was a really good ride much longer than we imagined and it's quite weird because it goes right through the town - completely over everybody's house... So not only do you get a lovely vista of the bay but you can view the beautiful rooftops and get to look in everybody's gardens and to look at their picnic sets.. clean washing nice plants... scratty backyards.... We got off th
