Friday 19th July 2019

The weather was foul today. We made the short journey from Piddletrenthide and parked on the Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival site.

I soon bumped into my friend Dean from Totnes, seen here on the right. He is a volunteer steward at the festival.

Dean's partner Rachel is also here.

It was nasty weather for putting up tents.

Dean came to visit us in our van.

Dean roped in a Scottish pal of his who happened to be passing.

I listened to some musicians in the main tent while Ann went off to hear some comedians at the Village Hall.

 

I think this is the fourth time we've been to this festival. There is always a really nice atmosphere here and there is no chance whatsoever that you're going to encounter any Tories.

Before too long our friends Annette and Andy from Shrewsbury turned up. Apparently they had been stuck in traffic on the M5 for quite a while.

We were up quite late listening to the bands and drinking beer.

Today we travelled 15 miles (24 kilometres). We are at N50.75022 W2.30737
