To take everyone from Brighton to the farm, Will hired a bus that runs on vegetable oil from a company called The Big Lemon. They are very popular here in Brighton. After a rushed morning of packing Tom and I met friends and were on our way. We were looking forward to meeting Freddie, Emma and Mark (friends from Tom's home) there.
When we arrived I was very impressed. It looked a lot more like a festival than I expected. They had a stage set up, ping pong, a tea and cakes van, and big bbq and a Lamb Roast! It was delish! Only problem was they didn't start the bbq or serve the lamb until 7pm, and all I had had was a bowl of cereal for breakfast. I was starving, and its not smart to have a few drinks in the afternoon without food.
We had a great time playing in the sun. Emma and I worked on posters for the colouring competition, but I got bored half way through and didn't enter mine. The skirt I wore I made! That is my first creation with my sewing machine. There are a couple of pics below, I really like the bow in the back.
As the night wore on the bands started to play, unfortunately my camera battery died. I wasn't impressed with all of the music, some was a lot more shouty than I like. Better music came on later in the night.
The one really bad part of the night was sleeping. I hadn't thought to much about this when I was packing. Luckily I did have warm pajamas. But no sleeping bags, mats or socks! So my toes froze! And the ground was so hard and bumpy. Plus I went to sleep quite a while before the music stopped so I couldn't sleep for ages. It was definitely one of the worst nights of sleep I have had ever. I sound like an old lady saying this, eek.
We did have fun and it was a great event, the epitome of British summer complete with Cath Kidston bunting.
Love
cool skirt jennnnnn!
