Poet Lemn Sissay at Hip Yak Poetry Shack- backblip

Well, this was a while ago! Almost two weeks ago. WOMAD festival was very hot. We wore sarongs and hats and scarves to cover up our exposed arms and other parts. I'm quite pale usually, and we had three other Celts in our party. Fortunately, there is a beautiful shady part of the site called the Arboretum, where one can lie under trees that are lit up, and listen to bands or poetry. The Ecotricity stage is a very chilled out space. 

Poet Lemn Sissay was good. I watched him with my nephew's girlfriend F. I had South Indian style mackerel for supper, and I am.pretty sure K had Caribbean. The last band of the night that I saw was called Two Rivers and they were Irish, doing fast covers of the Pogues' songs, but one stand out moment for me is lying under a tree, hearing but not seeing a Latina chanteuse, watching  small children play in the dappled sunlight, repeatedly jumping off a small cart.
