Stroud Water Festival 40 yrs Party (by sarah)
Last weekend we went to the Stroud On Water Festival for me to read my poetry - it was on our wanting to do list anyway so I was very happy to be asked and in some ways wish we had been able to spend the whole weekend there but obviously I had originally been booked for another festival which had to be canceled due to flooding. (Today we are off to another wet looking festival!).
It was a lovely festival with victorians wondering in to listen to poetry.
I got fed coffee, eton mess and other goodies whilst listening to the other poetry - Alaric and girls missed my performances which was a shame.
After the poetry we wondered about and bought plants and things and looked mainly at bees!
It was the 40th anniversary of the beginning of the restoration of the canals - so here are some photos of work on the canals 🙂
They had a steam roller!
But for me I think the highlight of the day was that as Alaric and the girls left a tent I heard '....good to see the Gotye impersonator has bought his children along...' I missed the rest of the conversation so am not sure it was Alaric that was ment but I think it must have been 🙂 On top of that random people he meets are now saying the same to him :/
