Great set. Thanks Matt.
You're welcome. Feel free to re-size the larger shots! :) Lovely to meet some of thee people this morning. They are so excited for today's festival.
Back having a breather after round 1 and a Korean bratwurst.  Be back to catch the Popes.  Fantastic event.
Hey rosyrose, got the sweetcorn/popcorn guys as well. Great photos.
Thanks! That sweetcorn guy was so into having his photo taken. He struck this manly pose twice (one from each side), while his mate was heaving heavy pots of sweetcorn around.

I thought the atmosphere at the Festival on Sunday was fantastic- so relaxed and friendly. I was running a stall promoting my drummng courses and the response was brilliant. It was such a shame i couldn't be in two places at once -behind the stall and wondering up and down the road, enjoying everything on offer. Lucky enough to be near the stage by the Salisbury- the bands were so great. SO lucky with the weather - in fact i think it was a perfect day!  Big Thanks to all the organisers and the lovely people of Harringay
Mr Grumpy here. Far too much smoke from burning flesh, which these pictures show. And how green is a hog roast?

Really enjoyed it this afternoon, thank you so much to everyone involved in organising and running the day :-)

 

Excellent, excellent festival.  Big thanks to the organisers - Mr & Mrs Growbag and assorted friends enjoyed a day of music, scrumpy (thank you Garden Ladder), various amazing barbequed meat products and some really good cakes and chocolate truffles.  Roll on the next one.
