This most recent trip did not disappoint. Full of odd moments and odd people alongside best friend and cherished eccentric friend.
Two highlights of the weekend (other than meeting some marvelous people - new friends and old):
1. Quote of the weekend:
'You just sat there, all night, like Henry VIII - eating cheese'.
2. Shakespearean move of the weekend:
Trying to dispatch a less than exemplary staff member by sending her to the festival office with a sealed note to the organiser telling them to redeploy her as she was useless. She didn't know what was in the note, but she had enough low native cunning to know it wasn't going to be a good ending for her - so she refused to go. This was kind of like when the King of Denmark dispatched Rosencrantz and Gildenstern to the King of England with a note telling him to execute the bearers of the note. It may be cruel, but it is efficient. As I say, however, she was having none of it.
I have several lovely souvenirs and now need to lie down for a week to recover.
