Hurray we went to the
Harvest Festival at Jimmy's Farm and it was fantastic! The weather was just perfect which made the whole weekend really enjoyable. We went with our friends Sarah and Rob and their eldest little boy Sonny, who is the same age as
Cas.
We stayed in our van and Sarah, Rob and Sonny put up their tent next to us.
It was a very civilised fest and even the toilets were fine - which is unheard of at a normal music festival! Even though it was a food festival as well there was not many food stall there . . . ! Most were at Bestival I guess. But the ones that were there were good ones.
There was loads for the kids to do. We did some den building in the woods.
And played with the really cool butterflies in the butterfly house.
We enjoyed the Charlie and Lola stage show . . .although we only lasted about 30 mins before Cas got bored and wandered off . .
In the day we walked around the food stall and looked at all the animals in the petting farm bits. There was also a big bouncy castle and a pirates playground. There was lots of story readings and little bits of street theatre for kids - but Cas is still a bit young to care to much about things that don't involve just jumping.
At night we put the kids in their PJ's and wrapped them up in their pushchairs and went to watch the music and dance at the bars - whilst quaffing from our wine box! Kept out the chill!
Would definately go to this festival or another kiddy type one next year - Camp Bestival maybe. Cas loved it and it was a fun for us cos we could enjoy time drinking and eating with our friends!
Who knew that beyond the Clifton bypass, we have such fantastic countryside along the river - right close to the City Centre . . well unless you Cycle or Walk you wouldn't - it is completely inaccessible by car, and clearly all the better for it.
