A long lunch out in Morvan National Park

We spent two nights at Espace Vital Camping, in the Morvan National Park, near the village of Saint Leger sous Beuvray. Not far from the historic town of Autun, Burgandy. A wonderfully peaceful campsite, in fact there was only one other tent there at the top of the field. The stars at night were unbelievable with no light pollution around at all.

They even provided us with a longer electric lead so that we could have the best view of the...

Our first stop was the rocks, where we stood watching waves crash dramatically against the shore. From there, we climbed up along the coastal path, passing fields with sweeping sea views, military-looking compounds, and a few industrial sites. When hunger hit, we found a sheltered spot...

Glastonbury 2025

Glastonbury 2025

What a great week it was. We were based at the Tree Stage. Spoiled by a stream of incredible talent. Artists including Alexis Taylor, Gwenno, Laura Misch, TENGGER, Four Tet, Juan Atkins, Max Cooper, Chris Watson, Daisy Rickman and more. We did manage to venture out into the festival. Enjoying The Pulp on the Pyramid. Singing Common People so loudly we didn't even hear the Red Arrows flying over. Also on the Pyramid, we loved Nile Rogers. Later we made our way to Arcadia and the South East Corner. On the final night we went to see The Prodigy, later...
