The Flow Festival

Okay first a pointer to the official site for our Flow Festival. The Festival itself starts tomorrow at 10am until 5pm for the whole weekend with The Devil's Tale being performed from 6pm til 7pm, but we have the procession tonight at 8.30pm heading across the bridge up through town and then back down to the basin. The universe permitting I'll be there to watch and also be there over the weekend too. So if you see a guy with a pony-tail in a beige jacket snapping away say hello :-)

Good timing as we also have the Vintage Steam Rally on at the same time. Sadly I wouldn't say it was easy walking distance between the two, but one event might draw people to the other. The only downside is that it's paid admission.

On another piece of good timing the death-trap stairs are still blocked off and apparently this is because they're no longer there! Perhaps someone's finally decided these tatty slippery metal stairs aren't befitting our shiny refitted bridge and are putting in some proper brick ones? Hey maybe someone will even get some gold paint out and paint round the... what d'ya call them... the jutting out bits of the lampposts to give them some added definition. Anyway we have a precession going over the bridge and a bunch of stuff going on at the basin, I expect the riverside stuff will be open for business and we've lost a set of steps; nice!

They also have a Facebook page (sorry can't find the URL, but I will). They may appreciate some photos uploaded there.
