i love you you pay my rent
Festival time. Glastonbury was having a year off to let the grass grow, Jen and Alex got married on Big Chill weekend, so it had to be a first visit to Bestival. Which was kind of apt, seeing as it started life in the Tea Rooms on a Sunday night, those were the days...
Anyway, off to the Isle of Wight we trundled. We missed most of the bands we meant to see, mostly due to being off our chops. And some. Though we did find the Hidden Disco for a hour of Guilty Pleasures. They even played that Queen song in our honour. Probably they'd have played Johnny Cash if we'd have asked and then it would have been wedding number three.
Elsewhere the Pet Shop Boys rocked. You know you're getting old when bands you've grown up with are 20 years old. And we even joined in the fancy dress parade. 15,000 people in all manner of outfits.
Sadly you'll have to wait a few months for the majority of the photos. All will be revealed..

You might want to have a look at the rest of the photo quickly - by the looks of what you have already posted, I have a strange feeling that the pictures are the only way you'll remember what happened this weekend!!!
Have another beer - it'll help with the hangover!
Cheers,

thanks for breaking the duck, sharon. as for the rest of it, i think '0 comment' underneath each photo probably works best....
OK Will, you have me stumped again. "Breaking the Duck"????????????
Translation please :)

Many years ago when Will was not even a gleam in his Dad's eye, the English invested a game of such complexity that the Americans never learned how to play.
Cricket - the last bastion of the Empire! Thats where Duck comes from - life is too short to explain more.
OK, still stumped - time to hit the World Wide Web!!! It may take me years, but I'll be back when I figure this out :)
OK, I'm back. Only took me an hour and a half (and I had to take a break to take the dog for a walk!). Now I think I have it kind of figured out. "break the ice" "get the ball rolling" Am I close????
Enquiring minds need to know!!!
Sharon,
I am going to try and rescue you. In Cricket if you are out and have scored no runs you are 'out for a duck'. 0 = duck. No idea why.
Janet
It comes from the fact that a '0' is the shape of a duck's egg (apparently) and the expression became shortened to 'duck'
