Camp Bestival Diary 2014 {Saturday}

And then it was Saturday at Camp Bestival, a day for dressing up and meeting up with fellow bloggers but first there was the issue of the rain.

Saturday at Camp Bestival will be remembered for the crazy turn in weather. We awoke to rain, which was quite nice to start with as it drowned out the snoring from a neighbouring tent, then it became a question of when do we make a dash to the loo? An incoming text message from the husband brought good news with a forecast of sunshine on its way so we got on with it. Saturday is fancy dress day at Camp Bestival so we stayed dry in our tent and sorted out face paints and costumes - well for the girl anyway.

The afternoon saw blue sky, sunshine, the witnessing of an Inflatable Church Wedding and the official blogger meet up. Moustaches appeared courtesy of Hello it's Gemma and they clearly suited myself and HPMcQ!

After a few Sangrias it was off to the Guardian Literary Tent for Scroobius Pip. It was a chilled 90 minutes of banter and spoken word from Mr Pip and Polarbear, a great pairing of contrasting emotions. The photos above are of the classic 'Angles' - if you don't know it go and find it.

Following tea from the Feast Collective for the grown ups and Anna Mae's Mac and Cheese for the youngsters we decided to spend the evening in the Kid's Garden. Well, the kiddies did. We kind of sidled off into Josie Da Bank's Jam Jar Bar where we had a gorgeous cocktail - I wouldn't expect any less after an hour wait for it! Good job the children were occupied with glow sticks and a field.

Later we danced in Bollywood and contemplated staying up till 01:00 to see dan le sac vs Scroobius Pip. As the children started to wane, and the boy asked for his bed, the mummy guilt kicked in so we headed back to the tent just before midnight. So, unfortunately I missed the last opportunity of seeing the pair play live together. I can't complain though as we had spent another fantastic jam packed day on the festival site. It was all going too quickly though!
