The wellies were donned en masse this weekend, but despite the rain and gales that descended upon the village, the first ever international music festival took place here, and was carried off very well. I of course, spent alot of my time chasing after my two year old daughter, rather than actually watching anything at all, but she did some dancing too, and there was a music creche set up for kids, which she really enjoyed.
The pub was packed out, and not just for the Uilean pipes! It was a very cosy place to escape the rain. Nevertheless, this is England and a little rain can't stop people from
having a good time. My son probably enjoyed the chocolate fountain the best, as well as running amok with his friends and buying up every sweet he could get his hands on. Yesterday the pub hosted a bbq for those that helped out with organising and cleaning up, etc. after the festival, which we (well, hubby did) did, so that was great, with lots of veggie options too.
This is especially for my American friends as I don't think you will have seen this tv ad for the new Saab Bio-diesel (diesel cars aren't that popular in the states are they?). Don't know if the car will sell as well, but the song is getting lots of attention, though I haven't heard it on the radio yet, nor is it on napster but you can listen and view here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjQXMZe2ouk In my mind, it is possibly one of the best songs I've heard in a long time.. at first I thought it might have been the welsh band Catatonia, but its a swedish band (of course) called Oh Laura. I think it won't be long before they are everywhere, if the rest of it sounds as good as this. Also there; www.myspace.com/laurasweden ENJOY.
My son is picking up the local accent which can be heard a bit in this song (the kaiser's are from west yorkshire) for instance, I would say 'me' with the e sound on the end, but it sounds more like may here, or Ruby[roo-bee] sounds a bit like [roo-bay]as you can slightly hear in the song. What's an american mum supposed to do??!!
