The Guardian Of The Gate

On the mend after my little ‘illness’. Still feel exhausted - but able to eat and drink ok now! :-)

A bit of shopping today - supplies for another bachelor week. Mrs madwill is off to the quilt show at NEC for a couple of days and then off for a week of tailoring at Knuston Hall in Northamptonshire. An annual expedition where she makes a load of new clothes under the expert eye of a former haute couture seamstress. She can never buy clothes to fit properly so she learns how to make them and ensure they fit as required.

I of course will be reduced to eating sausages, chips and beans, curries, steaks and of course consuming copious amounts of beer. Lets hope my tummy is ready for it!

The photo is of one of the ‘security’ team from the Leeds festival. Production is in full swing (it takes about 6 weeks to get it ready) and a constant stream of lorries arrives with fencing, scaffolding, cabins, marquees, generators etc. etc. and they have to go to the correct site entrance. Despite the signs here, they still get wagons trying to use this entrance - so they have to have someone posted to redirect them. They have to sit out in all weathers - although I did see someone with a tent the other day.
