Not even all that pricey – everyone should get one! These are just me mucking about really.

The kitty is called Merry, the other woman in my life. I’m not sure who demands the most attention..

It was really, really good fun – the emphasis is as much on the the visual arts as the music; these few photos don’t really do it justice but here they are anyway!

If you know Adam & Fi, the whole set is up on Facebook; these are the few I thought were worthy of showcasing as pictures for pictures sake, rather than just because we know the folks in them :)

It didn’t work quite as well when we swapped over ;)

We went to down to Granchester meadows to try and catch the nice light as the sun went down.

There was a vintage rally down at the gliding club, but none of the vintage glider pictures were any good so here are a selection of random things I found to take pictures of.
