I've just had an email from Co-op urging me to do something unpredictable this weekend like adding Spanish Chorizo to British Beef. That would indeed be unpredictable for me.
Instead I shall be doing something very predictable - August Bank holiday, going to greenbelt is What I Do. It's one of my favourite things, and even tho I didn't start going til I was 21 (unlike my children who have been there from their starts, my boy was only 3 weeks old for his first) I feel it's been an integral part of my life. There have been unhappy ones as well as brilliant ones. Incredibly wet ones - and sometimes really sunny ones. This weekend isn't looking too bad weather wise - I finally got around to purchasing waterproof trousers so hopefully that will mean they're not needed. My dearest friends are in Turkey for one last year so we will miss them greatly, but another fab friend is going who hasn't been in ages so I'll hopefully run into her. Enjoying friends and strangers is what greenbelt is about for me. Virtual connectivity is much trickier tho so I may not blog whilst I'm there. I will try and remember all that inspires me to share upon my return.
And in some ways I'm getting ahead of myself. it's only wednesday, there's work and singing before I go yet.
need some tips of what to go and experience Kristie!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that some of the beauty of greenbelt, Peter, that you randomly turn up to things or bump into people, and enjoy the what is it that particular moment?? I often have a look at the programme and try and aim for one or two things each day that appeals, but often the best bits, like in life, are the un-sought out joys! What are you hoping for?
