We also did a Love Poem to the Earth - which involved getting lines of poetry from people from across the globe and catching punters as they struggled through the mud (we were dressed as Fairies!) - we discovered people are not that into loving the earth when their tent has washed away! But we did end up with a 500 line poem to read!Victoria Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14595463441892683701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340201738604749473.post-74537079177379936322007-06-22T23:42:00.000+01:002007-06-22T23:42:00.000+01:00DM, I heard her on the radio earlier in the week -...DM, I heard her on the radio earlier in the week - she's getting a helicopter in as she detests the mud!<BR/><BR/>Brom, I love going to festivals ... espcially when they're free...<BR/><BR/>YP, your son knows the Arctic Monkeys?
