Humble

By nature...

Had a super weekend at The Big Day Out, which is Humble by Natures 2nd year of festival fun....a festival on a farm that is small enough to be personal yet big enough to loose yourself for a while in all the activities and workshops, music, cookery and so much more, without bumping into everyone else there.

Super grounds for camping, facilities second to none, very, very well organised.

I held weaving workshops all weekend, peg loom weaving with Welsh wool making seat mats and hand held loom weaving to create wall hangings.

Everyone that took part created something unique and wonderful.

Great fun and learning had by all.
