We drove down to Devon full of giddy excitement, our 7th Beautiful Days (BD) and looking forward to sharing in the festival's 10th year celebration with great friends, new friends and the Levellers themselves; they always know how to throw a good party! Unfortunately, the weather they ordered wasn't too great; but we're getting good at putting a tent up in rain with a 3 year old hanging off our legs, and we were soon set up, camp decorated, wellies and waterproofs on and ready to party under canvas.
The ground was lovely and squidgy, but with no mud yet, we could safely walk up the hills and made it all the way to the other end of the site and the Bimble Inn. The main arena was eerily quiet, the calm before the storm, and we got a really good look at where everything was and what would be new for tomorrow. We wandered back to the tent, jumping in as many muddy puddles as we could find, and then to bed; with the only noise through the night being rain, and a bit too much of it.
