Getting ready for the Festival

The traveller is back in the car park, neatly tucked into a discreet spot at the bottom, backing on to the strip of verge that's been planted with trees and bushes. This time he's put a kennel out at the back for his little terrier.

The programme for the Children's Festival is out now, but the main one still hasn't appeared. There are some good names there - Michael Morpurgo and Malorie Blackman, for instance, and lots of stuff for children to do while their parents are at more adult talks.

Di Blunt has been spending the morning hacking down the bushes that overhang the pavement near the old water trough, because it had got to the stage where they were hitting pedestrians in the face when they tried to walk by.

There's quite a bit going on round town that I could be talking about if I went out a lot in the evenings. There was a live band in the Blue Boar on Friday, and the film club is showing Pan's Labyrinth next week, and there's going to be a Bach concert at St Eigon's church in Llanigon, as well as a Griot Production next weekend (not sure what sort of music they're doing this time). There's going to be a Seven Churches Cycle Ride and Coffee Morning, too, to raise money for the local churches.
Of course, if I were organised, I'd carry a notebook and pen with me everywhere, and note down all the details.
