So much good...

..and so much bad at the festival. For me anyway. Professionally, the culmination of 18 months of planning and meetings, organising, decision making, site design, licence issues..so it goes on. But we did it. And we did it bloody well.

What we have worked towards since setting up the business two years ago. So much potential. The first major piece of work for us..and now most likely, the last. Question is, do I simply resign from the business, or do I request that it be dissolved, or disbanded, or whatever it is you do to a business? Cos SAND is Sally and David....and if I am not to be part of it any more, then I think it should cease to exist. But what happens to all the business things, the bank accounts, the assets, the debts.....it is very, very sad.

However, some more pics of the festival to end on a high note..apart from the major evening events, there were day time events, and we designed the marquee space so it could be split into two halves, or one half and two quarters, with round tables and bistro chairs, so the coffee bar could have that intimate feel...every day there was a chair aerobics session - I joined in briefly while D took a picture, but then we had to run away cos we weren't taking it very seriously....there was a talk every day, a charity of teh day, a book review and a lunch time concert, as well as tea, coffee and cakes. It was very successful, well attended, and I heard some good stuff here, very moving and very apt.


Spot me doing chair aerobics...and the lunchtime concert with the Salvation Army sextet..excellent.....

Clearly lots going on for you at the moment.

Glad it all went well, and hope your deliberations bring you to a decision you are comfortable with. Thinking of you.

Can only agree with my good friend who remains short of an ace...walk away...come west...lots of spare rooms, people who love you.....chocolate.
but you are amazing, you know...the festival was clearly a triumph and to do all that professionally, with everything else that was going on....
I'm very proud of you, my friend xxxx
