Victorious

As Sam and harriet were returning from their travels they were going to Victorius Festival in Portsmouth, mainly to see Jamie T. So Sue and I decided to go for the weekend and camp.
Latitude – the rest (still minus one)

Highlights include comedians like Rosie Jones and ventriloquist Nina Conti, musical acts like Rick Astley, Keane, The Darkness, and Duran Duran, and the festival’s relaxed atmosphere.We had a great time but Sue was sorely missed.
Latitude Day One (still minus one)

Day One, was probably the best line up, Frank Turner, Fatdog, TheVaccines and more!
Latitude – Day Zero (still minus one)

Day Zero… i.e. the arena opens but not really any bands on. But still a lovely chill day.

The Great Estate Festival

We attended this 2nd to 5th June, 2022 with friends and my sister. We had a great few days listening to the Manics and a variety of other, mainly local, bands. We stayed in our van the whole time, which is still fabulous, compared to a tent!!! The weather was variable but not too awful […]
