Why blog now? Here are a couple of reasons why:

Just got back from Standon Calling and realised how so much I saw is already going in my own E7 back yard. Especially loved the tin type photography tent run by people who I discovered live quite near here. Looking forward to getting them over to the Gate to involve everyone in their beautiful work.

Going down to Shuffle! this weekend, curated and kicked off by Danny Boyle, looking forward to seeing him again - can you believe it?! See you there and will blog all about it.

Also been to a couple of great local secret dining nights recently; thanks to Tabs and Art for putting these together.

And that's just the start; I could really get into this!
