Wool, Wombling and General.......: .....Wilderness!

Hi there!

So excited to be doing my first post on my new blog all about the best festival I've ever been to!

Last weekend we managed to get tickets to Wilderness Festival which was held in the beautiful Cornbury Park Estate in Oxfordshire. I have to thank Clare at Second Hand Rose for letting us tag along. We had so much fun in the sun!

I had two "firsts" at the festival. Firstly - I got the chance to have a bit of a pamper and had my first ever massage. It was an hour long thai massage whilst lying under a huge oak tree....totally blissful! Secondly - I had my first taste of Magners Pear Cider and it is now one of my favourite drinks. It may have helped that it was a cold drink on a scorching hot day but I loved it all the same!

Sanctuary - Tarot Reading, Massages, Fortune Telling etc

I've always been intrigued by spiritual fortune telling such as Tarot and Palmistry so I seized the chance to get a Tarot Card reading. I was a little bit apprehensive in case it told me something I didn't want to hear but I was pleasantly surprised. The reading was quite vague and surprisingly accurate so I would definitely be tempted to try it again. I still have a very open mind about it all.

The strange thing about Wilderness is it isn't all about the music so there wasn't a plethora of big well known bands playing. However, I was looking forward to seeing The Robbie Boyd Band. We saw the talented Mr Boyd singing in Portobello market a few years ago and bought two of his albums. The CDs went down a storm when I played them in my shop and I was looking forward to seeing him live with his full band. They didn't disappoint and were amazing! If you've never heard them it's definitely worth a listen.
