Going Barefoot

Not content to have spent a week in nature, on Sunday we spent a day at the Barefoot Festival.  Our local, fledgling festival was a really chilled out, family friendly event.  There was a strong healing vibe, great music and a great feeling of shared enjoyment.  The boys ran free with a band of children, circling back to find us listening to folk music, watching a circus skills workshop, or drinking a smoothie, squashed by riding a bicycle (the smoothie, not the boys)!  We returned home to build a tent in the garden and cook a tagine outdoors. We spent the evening telling fairy stories to a boy whose imagination has suddenly been ignited by pixies and elves and who donned his own pair of (very manly) fairy wings.
