We are now back from a lovely holiday down south, so I have lots of photos to put up here! I'll do them in installments though, although I'm not sure how many of the photos you'll be able to see as flickr is not behaving very well currently. This first post includes our 3 days at the Womad festival, which will be the subject of another post at some point.
31st July:
This is the ceiling of the Siam venue. The artist playing here was Booker T Jones (as in the MGs) - he played the two classics he's best known for, Green Onions and the theme to Test Match Special (I bet he doesn't get the reaction he got to that in any other country) and the place went mad, he was excellent!
30th July:
A view of the main arena. I love the Womad flags.
29th July:
They made these letters (inspired by the Hollywood letters) at the Womad festival in New Zealand earlier in the year. There were always kids playing on them, I think they were a hit!
28th July:
We spent the first night of our holiday staying with HD's parents, who conveniently live a couple of hours away from the Womad venue (it really would have been too much to go the whole way in one day from here). This pig was one of the presents they gave HD for his birthday.
