Just got back from a great weekend at Beverley.

Came through a daddy of a thunderstorm at Thirsk, had to pull up for half an hour as it was just impossible to see to drive. Rain in sheets, hail hitting the windscreen so hard I thought it was going to break and drains just totally incapable of handling the amount of water that the heavens were shedding.

God definitely pulled the plug on this one.
Strangest thing was, the rain and hail were making so much noise they almost drowned out the thunder.

Anyway .... back to the festival ..... Thanks to oombanjo, Mrs oombanjo, Sir Roger and anyone else who fought so hard to keep the fringe going. Keep up the good work and I'll definitely be back next year.

PS ... the only complaints I heard all weekend were about the Festival proper.
