off to the bright field

Today's the day! I couldn't sleep much last night with the excitement!! I have figured I've been going for 22 years, though have missed maybe 3 or 4 when we were in Ireland and for a wedding. So that's only 5 or 6 more than my girly. We're taking one of her friends with us, so that will be a new experience on many fronts - I'm really glad she's coming (we tend to be less grumpy when we have another person in our midst for a start) tho I'm a teensy bit anxious about the extra responsibility. Last year, and I think the one a couple of year's previously, were wet and muddy, but my overriding memories do involve bright sunny fields :)

Several folks are already en route (how do they get their offspring to get going so early??). Our car is mostly packed, but we all need to have one last shower...

The field is bright, lots of fun had already.  Red sky bodes well for tomorrow too!
