Greenbelt is over!

Ah... five nights sleeping on the ground, on a summery evening in England. The weather wasn't all that bad. One more year at Greenbelt, my second year running with Mary. We went as workers, so we got a free ticket and some meal vouchers. Greenbelt got five to six hours of our day every day. Not a bad deal, we didn't really miss anything that we desperately wanted to see.

Right, who did we see? The one band that sticks to mind is
One Nation
They were pretty amazing, I even bought their CD although it wasn't so good. Also saw Emmanuel Jal, who headlined the Eden project concert for Live8 but I didn't think that he was that great. Jazz Jamaica, who was billed as the great big band jazz/swing/funky music type band was really cool too. And random bands which I can't remember now. Some photos follow. Am too sleepy to write more! It was one tiring weekend, Thursday to Tuesday morning. whew..

Both of us at Greenbelt
This was taken before we watched Paul Karensa, who was a stand up comic kind of guy. He was pretty entertaining.

Drum kit in field
We were just walking back from another tent to out tent when we saw this full drum kit in the middle of a group of tents. It amused us.

Someone got left behind
Another amusing art installation type thing. Some clothes left behind with a note just outside the ticket office.

sunday morning communion
Wow, this is amazing. 20,000 people in on field, praising and singing to God and enjoying what is known to Greenbelt as communion on Sunday.

Greenbelt banner
Greenbelt banner thing on the side of the wall. Something to prove that I was at Greenbelt.

Strange people at Greenbelt
Some metal spring like things, a semi-dance semi-art installation thing walking around, trying to show us, something. Taken from in front of the Tiny Tea Tent, the best place to hang out at Greenbelt.

Mary at Greenbelt

Am falling asleep now but found some photos of Elona's farewell dinner which was a couple of days before I left for Greenbelt, so they are going up as well! Can't wait until I get to Albania, should be really exciting. Talk about a random holiday destination. :-)

Farewell dinner
Alvi,Elona,Alessandra,Jean-Marie,Andres,Akua and me somewhere there with my head mostly in the picture.

Elona and Alvi
Elona and Alvi,don't they look good together?

Elona's farewell dinner
All that food on that one table!

Time for me to sleep now, I will add more random thoughts later. I can barely even type.

Night night. God bless.
