Greenbelt Quickie (7)

Praying should not be like ordering a pizza on the telephone.

Return to Blogging

It's been a wild few days; time spent in Norfolk, a few days in London seeing Queen and Paul Rodgers and then James Blunt on consecutive nights at the O2 Arena with my lovely Girlfriend. then having a 2 day migraine as a reminder of the rich food and drink enjoyed during that time. I have to say I found the O2 to be a mixed bag experience- very, very corporate with prices to match, but the actual arena to be a great place to see bands, if you can let go of the whole feel of being inside a huge financial punter-reaping machine. Both bands were great, quite different in production and presentation, highlights including Roger Taylor doing a drum solo whilst his drum kit was built around him, and Mr Blunt suddenly jumping off stage and running to the middle of the arena where a piano arose from the crowd on a small stage.

We stayed in Docklands and had a mooch around there, looking at the Excel centre (there was a hairdressing conference happening whilst we were enjoying breakfast there), and then some time in Canary Wharf. Had my first rides on the Docklands Light Railway, and generally had  a great time.

Greenbelt: Nominated for an award 2

Greenbelt has been nominated for the 'Best Family Festival' and Best Festival Toilets' in the Virtual Festival Awards. Well it would wouldn't it?!! Ahem! They can be clean, filthy, comical and the focus of many Greenbelt anecdotes over the years, so I suppose it's only right and proper that they are recognised in some small way. Lets hope GB wins.
