Festivals and Flooding

The marquees are going up in the car park under the castle for the food festival tomorrow. If it's anything like last year's, it should be good.
The Food Festival isn't the only Festival coming up - Hay Music Festival is coming back for it's second year, with folk, roots, reggae, ska, blues, jazz, rock and world music - which is quite a varied line up. I'm so far out of the music scene that I've never heard of any of the bands, but like the Food Festival, it was popular last year.
Meanwhile, the sun is out here, and the river is hardly up at all. The swan's nest on Booth Island has been washed away, but that's about it.
The Severn is a different matter, though - there have been a lot of problems around Worcester and Gloucester.
The only problem the Hay area has had recently has been a power cut to the surrounding villages - Cusop, Clyro, Clifford, Llanigon and so on - on Tuesday afternoon, and that was because an electricity pylon went up in flames!
