Go mad for Womad

Last weekend we were down in Wiltshire at the World of Music, Arts & Dance Festival, otherwise known as Womad. The festival has been going since 1982 and was co-founded by Peter Gabriel, who just happened to be headlining.

10 years now I have been going to this great festival. Never been as wet but it didn't matter. Still great fun. great company, fantastic food and then there's the music! Thanks Charlton Park. Really loved the Aboretum-magical. Will be back next year.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to the Oxfam staff who were encouraging people to sign their petitions at Womad. They were always friendly, really cheerful despite the mud and great fun to chat to!
