A quick update from country England
So it has been a while since I updated my blog. The usual excuses of being busy are quite applicable, but I have been lumped with an even better reason… My MacBook died…
It completely wiped the whole hard drive of all files (music, pictures, documents, programs etc). Now as explained in my first travel post, I have two back ups, a ‘time machine’ backup, and another hard backup. The computer managed to wipe the backup drive at the same time, and I have been forced to buy a new leopard (mac operating sustem) install dvd. I am yet to find enough time to reinstall the operating system and restore my files.
The second part of my excuse is that I am in country england, near a place called Bruton, at a hippie festival called ’sunrise’. It is the first of the many festivals I am volunteering at this year, in exchange for a ticket, food and accomodation. It’s an amazing experience, and the UK festival scene is something else. This one is ’small’ with only 4000 people. Glastonbury, by far the most famous of the UK festivals hosts over 250,000 people!
Anyway, I am writing this post over breakfast in a McDonalds halfway between bruton (the festival site) and yeovil ( he company’s base). I have been driving a ‘lorry’ (ute) and I must say that whilst the countryside is beautiful and green, the roads are extremely skinny, and quite scary at times, when passing large semi trailers.
I leave the festival tomorrow and head back to London for a night, then take the channel train (eurostar) to paris, and start my Busabout tour on Monday.
Hope you are all well, will try to update very soon!
Cheers,
Geordie!
