julietSo this weekend the lovely ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
uon & myself took ourselves[0] all the way down to Cornwall to go to a psytrance party in a field. And much fun it was too.
Very small (only maybe a couple of hundred people?), very friendly, and the site was lovely - the camping at the top of a hill, the rigs down the field in the valley, lots of nice trees around (trees!). Also they had bats! Which were diving around of an evening just above the psy rig dance area, & also up by the floodlight where the camping was - I presume lots of insects were being confused/attracted by the light. Happy fat bats! Have never seen bats up that close before. There was a little stone circle thingy in the camping field, as well, but I saw it only briefly on arrival & then forgot to go look at it again, whoops.
The music was fun; everything was v relaxing; the weather behaved v well (i.e. it pretty much only rained when we were already happily ensconsed in the tent; and the storm kettle was a hit (people kept coming over to ask about it & go 'cor, that's great!'. Also it meant we got hot dinner, viz, couscous, on Sunday evening. And several cups of tea.).
Two & a half days spent chilling out, sitting around in a field with nice bouncy music, and dancing, all with entirely fantastic company... clearly the ideal way of spending a bank holiday weekend :-) And we got to visit Stonehenge on the way back! (I've never been before & was v impressed)
And then I got back last night to discover that there was still plenty of food left over for me from the Allotment Feast cooked bymarnameow! Hurrah.
[0] By car, for once. I can strongly recommend Thrifty at Tower Bridge for yr car rental needs - they are v nice people & also let me leave my bike at their site while I had the car out.
