we have just returned from a truly great weekend.
A pub some miles from here had decided to stage a music do,said pub having a small campsite which costs 5 pounds a head a night.
The kids all declined to come meaning it was just the student and me in the trusty t4 heading up the m4.
First a diversion to the student mum then down to take in a lovely locally based festival which was really nice. Compact not crowded and little did we know the pubs resident chef is Michelin rated. No I don't mean he changes tyres in his spare time either, though he might, I'm not sure. So anyway we went we ate the most wonderful meal the bands were really great but..
I am into my 50's I should really have worked out that when you arrive at a festival and note it has 6 real ales in the bar in the field with another 11 on the bar inside and 2 draught ciders too, this should never ever be taken as a challenge.
I should also learn that all beers are brewed with yeast and there is going to be a slightly different one in any beer, this lot all has to go somewhere and soon so much beer was sloshing round in me that there was a whole raft of yeasts all looking for something to eat. Now with the varieties, they soon all found something that took their fancy and tucked in. Of course yeasts eating and fermenting away produce rather a lot of gas and last nigh the inside of that van sounded like someone was rolling round on a bed of whoopee cushions. At one stage the student was contemplating moving to sleep under the van or possibly in the bus shelter up the road. Even though by the it was doing what Welsh weather does and raining.
She is still talking to me, but I think we might have an early night tonight, that was the other nice thing, the two of us being the only ones there, we retired at 11, when the bands were still playing but boxing clever I had parked close enough for us to be able to hear. Then, this morning with no one else to worry about we got up when we were ready and not when someone was hammering on the side of the van demanding a 3 course breakfast and any time in the next 5 minutes would do.
We took our big new awning then decided not to put it up, so there was another job we didn't need to do this morning. In fact it was a really good weekend for just the two of us, whats more - next weekend we are off to France, on our own then too.
