There was a queue when we arrived, but by the time I’d finished it had gone. I still get a kick out of voting and even got nervous as I turned the corner and saw the polling stations. I had a bit of a panic voting for the local people, rather hard when you don’t know who everyone is – I should have known. Sandy and I walked and she met a fan as we were queuing. All very sociable.

Oh, and by the way Happy New Year! Lets all have a good one.

Have been on some lovely walks recently, enjoying the end of summer. The New Forest and another one from Arundel to the sea and then walking along the beach to Littlehampton – wonderful.
Comments(0) Had a good time at Latitude. Was surprised by Brian Patten, sang along to Chrissie Hynde, couldn’t stay up for the whole of the Pet Shop Boys (I’d been up since four something) their set was amazing. Checked out Scott Mathews, Camera Obscura, and the end of Newton Faulkner. Daljit Nagra was older than I expected. Loved the coloured sheep, the chilled out atmosphere and oh the family toilets were a find. Didn’t like £8 for a programme, being asked to pour bottled water out (I didn’t), the stressed out London crowd (including myself here), the bonkers weather – pouring with rain then scorching hot. What happened to Jenene Garafalo, so disappointing, Ed Byrne filled in, although surprised to hear him tell a joke I’d heard a much better version of on the radio only a few days earlier by someone completely different. Thanks to Jo Brand for letting us sit down, even if it was a bit of a squeeze. Had a really good dance at the Melon Temple (I’d bring that back to London along with the Guardian tent from Glastonbury). Gaslight Anthem were great, although wow did they sound like Springsteen. I didn’t really get Rigina Spector and didn’t last long at the Vivienne Westwood thing (too, too pretentious). Stumbled across a strange and wonderful puppet show in the woods and Jeffrey Lewis was brilliant late Saturday/early Sunday in the poetry tent. Missed a lot on Sunday being sociable instead, but not the rain! Nick Cave – way too loud and too much base – so different from Glastonbury – shame. Two big requests to make it much better, one do something about the sound pollution, it was really bad and two some better food – vegetables and salad would be great.
