So much for summer

Well, guess that's my summer over with. I read on the train that it was the wettest August in recorded history here. And I think every single drop fell on Bangor.

That said, just got back from my first full-on UK festival experience and it was awesome! Camping in a muddy field with a whole bunch of music lovers... fun stuff! It was nice out on Friday and I had a great time. Saturday afternoon it started to rain, and MAN did it ever. The festival was in Argyll, by Loch Fyne, and apparently it always rains.

However - the festival was by Loch Fyne! Right beside a castle! It was so cool. Arguably the best part was the food - they had a whole section of local food. Stovies with local lamb, pasta with Loch Fyne smoked salmon, organic beef, macaroni with local cheese - so delicious.

And I guess it wouldn't be a proper British festival experience without spending the whole time in wellies.

No green onion cakes? No elephant ears? What kind of a festival is that?

At least you have had lots of experience with Festivals in the rain, so know how to pack for it.
