So pleased that Wendy wasn’t on this land you could do your festivals, must be rotten for her.

There's quite a list of people on FB saying they're not coming because of their dogs. There's also some people who can't come because of the effects of heat and bright sunlight on the increasing amounts of medications that the Cropredy demographic are taking.
After a tick bite earlier in the year, Wendy was on Doxycycline. That made her super-sensitive to strong sunlight and if she was still on that, she'd have never been able to undertake the round of festivals we're going to, this summer. So I'm sympathetic, but this was utterly predictable and what we're seeing is the triumph of common sense over optimistic bookings from earlier in the year. No wonder they can't get 20,000 people to turn up any more! |

I see latest Fairport email is recommending not bringing dogs if possible. I really do hope people listen to that. Personally, I think it could have been a little bit more instructive as opposed to suggestive, but hopefully everybody will be sensible. They won't, of course, but hey... I agree Couldn’t be more wishy washy. Just state that due to conditions this year no dogs allowed. You’d have to be some sort of owner to trapse a dog round in what could be 36 degree heat. Other festivals have put animal welfare first and done the right thing but fairport aren’t. Isn’t a good look imo. I wouldn’t take a dog there, but just think of the complexities of getting dogs into boarding kennels at short notice in the school holidays. It’d be impossible and the cost of kennels on top of tickets could be prohibitive. Be realistic too. |

I really feel for you. We are very fortunate in that we can leave our Labrador with my sister. Had been looking forward to bringing him in our van for the first time.

The latest Blog entry is some pontification with a rambling tone.

A review of the new Sandy Denny book, and an intriguing question! https://theafterword.co.uk/sandy-denny-a-peoples-history/ Because it's not actually "a people's history' but more of a people that knew Sandy tome, there's a chance it might be the first of these books to actually warrant a place on the shelf. Too cynical? Too wrong? I’m always slightly chary of cut n’ paste anthologies but the list of contributors on this one suggests that at least someone’s done their homework. |
