Port Eliot 2016

Wonderful day at Port Eliot - I went with Vegan Jo and Party Girl joined us in the afternoon. It was the most perfect weather - sunshine and a lovely temperature, and this year the midges left me relatively alone! There was the usual interestingly dressed individuals, this year flower head dresses and glitter face painting was the fashion - we tried for some glitter but mistimed it all day and never got it done! So many photos taken It's taken me the last 2 days to process just saturdays events!
We sat in the sun, we ate, we talked. we walked, we shopped, we listened and watched - we simply had the best time! I laughed at Murray lachlan Young and the two comedy waiters who danced to love songs and sucked a womans toe! I left in disgust at Noel Fielding interviewing Bruce Robinson - the latter was drunk before he even got on stage and proceeded to get drunker and the pair started the set simply swearing. I bumped into Camera Man who said people enjoyed watching  something that was on the edge - my friends said Noel did pull it back and was very funny - I thought it indulgent and puerile and simply didn't care to hang around. Seemed more like celebrity worship than an interesting or amusing conversation. Would anyone have stayed if they'd been unknown? I like Noel Fielding but was obviously feeling a little intolerant!
I went to watch Mad Dog Mcrea instead - a plymouth band who never fail to please - a mixture of folk rock, gypsy jazz and bluegrass the energy in the tent was phenomenal, as was the heat! I managed to work my way to the front and had major fun trying to photograph them!
We then met up again and  had food in the Bowling Green then saw the most amazing sunset before heading down to the river for a drink in the Black Cow saloon. We met up with a friend who had been stewarding and sat under this umbrella having a good chat and much laughter. Deciding we could do this in the village anytime we headed out once more for music and the hope of some dancing! Past midnight so more on tomorrows blip! 
All the fun of the festival here! It was actually easy to chose one to blip but not to chose the extras!
