Newton Faulkner at Beautiful Days

The nicest man on the planet? Quite possibly. Mr Newton Faulkner and I just had a grand old chat about being ginger and decided we look like brother and sister.

Mmmmm tasty

Festival food - as I've said before - has come on leaps and bounds since the days I first started festivalling (circa 1996) - and is also a whole heap better than people imagine (unless you're talking about Global Gathering).
Here at Beautiful Days there are about 50 different food stalls serving everything from Thai to Jamaican to vegan treats to ice cream and donuts and smoothies and pancakes. This particular mess marks the end of one of the best veggie burgers (with cheese and mushrooms) I've ever had. Yum.

Worst festival idea ever?

Here's an idea...

Perhaps I could pretend to be a lost child (i'm only short) and some parents might come claim me and look after me for the weekend. Fingers crossed.

Family fun

Beautiful Days is a family festival. The kids of the fest even have a huge area here with loads of activities to keep them happy (and quiet). There is face painting, wall climbing, rocket building, basket weaving and... van-splattering (not a well known activity to be fair). Here is one such splattered van.

Raaaaaaaaaar!

Hooray!

It's like finding an old friend!! This mash shack was at Beach Break festival and at Wakestock too. I LOVE it and the people who work there are really friendly. :)

That's not very nice!

Howdy doody. Katie here, out and about at Beautiful Days checking out all of the stalls (in the rain!). Plenty of mad stuff on offer here from frilly pants to juggling balls and musical instruments and fancy dress. I may have already invested in some weird floppy sandal things (for the warmer festivals coming up). This here sign is from a clothing shop that I'm hiding in. How rude!! ;)
