Bob Marley ExperienceWe spent the day at Farmer Phil’s Festival. It was howling all day and it started raining from mid-afternoon. It was also freezing cold. By the evening I was wearing 5 layers, including two fleeces and my skiing jacket. In fact, I wore more clothes than I usually do skiing, and it’s August!

We finally managed to find the acoustic tent this afternoon and saw a couple of great singers, but the highlight of the day was the Bob Marley tribute band. Despite the pouring rain they got everyone bopping (or was that just everyone trying to keep warm?).

By late afternoon the place had turned into a mudbath and cars were being towed out by tractor. The field was getting more and more slippery and people were starting to do Glastonbury-style mud bathing.

I learned a valuable lesson tonight… don’t try doing a jig in wellies on uneven ground when you’ve had a few. I got away with it, but only just!
