I get the feel of a nervousness in the festivals camp this year and there are those with the agenda to diss other festivals anonymously.

Well, I for one (two actually), will be there, and Joy has decreed we are there for a week. She is a gardener by trade and August is high season for her. Says it all really. Anyone want my aching feet? Available by the Tuesday I reckon.

If there are two dance venues in Blackmore gardens it might be a bit noisy.
