Although the festival lacks a slight bit of atmosphere, love how chilled it ...

Good: - toilets in the arena - lack of queues to access the site - roaming rotisserie chicken and donut/coffee stalls. Great service from both and word obviously spread about the quality of the chicken as the queues increased steadily over the weekend. I told her she was in a special pitch, previous...

Beeb forecast has improved significantly since yesterday. Less rain, thunder and wind over the weekend. Still classed as breezy with showers but nowhere near as bad.

Thurs looks fine, Fri rough, Sat and Sun a little soggy !

Body Count been confirmed since Dec 18 for WOA. Think they have just moved their slot around.

Joint of brisket beef, shallots and whole baby carrots, usual stock, seasonings and a healthy glug of red wine. Pretty spectacular after a few hours.
