My friend, Robin Anstealin securted two Guest Passes for the 2015 Reading Festival...and he kindly invited me to join him! That gave us full weekend admission to the festival, and access to the private R&R zone adjacent to "backstage" of the main arena. By festival standards that meant nirvana - easy access, no beer queues, exotic drinks and cocktails, private dance areas, real food, tables and chairs, no ablution queues, real (sanitary) toilets, no mud, clean/odourless people. Bliss! We checked into an out-of-town Holiday Inn late on the evening of Friday, August 28 and eventually made it to the festival in time to see Limp Bizkit and the tail end of Mumford & Sons. We returned on Friday morning, sadly missing Baby Metal's set, but catching Fidlar, Marmozets, Modestep, Pierce the Veil, Alexisonfire, Royal Blood, Bring Me The Horizon and, the headline act, Metallica. After a great (relatively rain-free) two days, and we made our way back home in the early hours of Sunday, August 30. With no wives and children around, we took the opportunity to brave the fringes of the mosh-pit at the front of the main stage, and here are some of the images I captured.
Californian Emo-Prog-Rockers Pierce the Veil did OK. One too many backward-baseball-caps and a little "preppy" for my liking, but I'll give them a second spin. Here's the full Pierce the Veil set for your viewing pleasure, courtesy of the BBC.
I know the twin sails has had it's critics and fair share of problems..the most notorious being the tarmac falling off..but I still love it, never stop being facinated by the road lifting up into the air!

Tully Church lies in Laughanstown (variously spelled Lehaunestown, Lehaunstown); it is located in South Dublin, 500 m south-southeast of Laughanston Luas stop (Green Line).
The original church structure dates to the 6thβ9th centuries AD. One ancient name is Telach-na-nun ecspop (Tullow of the bishops) and it must have been an important venue if bishops met there. There is a legend that seven bishops started out from there to visit St Brigid at Kildare. Elsewhere these bishops are mentioned as the "Seven Bishops of Cabinteely" (Alice Curtayne, Saint Brigid of Ireland)
In 1179 the Church was granted to the Priory of The Holy Spirit.
The chancel, which is wider than the nave, was added in the late 12th or early 13th century by the Normans. The unusually larger chancel was added to the nave during the early 13th century and has a rounded arch and two rounded headed east windows. The nave dates to the 13th century.
The church was in use up to about 1615. It came under the authority of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin who supplied clergy to keep it going. It was reported to be in good condition when inspected in 1615, but according to a report in 1630 had been badly damaged in recent storms. After that it was abandoned and fell into ruin.
The cross by the roadside is set upon a plinth and is dedicated to James Crehan (Grehan) who apparently saved the Cross from being discarded when the level of the road was being adjusted in the late 1800s. The plinth replicates the soil removed leaving the Cross standing at its original height. There are a set of worn steps on one side of the plinth which allows one to climb up and view the Cross closely.
There is a second cross in the field opposite Tully Church and this can be accessed via a low wooden fence [has been blocked]. This cross dates from the 12th century and is also reputed to be dedicated to St Brigit.
here comes the rain again..Friday night rain..they say it gets better after this!
Bank Holiday weekend, Hamworthy, Poole 03.04.2015
I decided that instead of my carpet, I'd pull out the tissue that acts as a cover in the shoe box and use that. I just found out the the baggage handlers are going on strike, for sure, on the weekend I leave for NJ. Brilliant. Not that I had to get there 3 hours early when they weren't striking, I wonder what hell I am going to encounter now. Great. I heard that it was only 300 out of the X amount of handlers they have stationed at Manchester, but who knows. I'll wait for real numbers and freak out then. Maybe. I was already planning for halving my clothes and such into my two cases, so I just hope they both don't get lost. I should take some fresh in my hand luggage? Good Idea.
#25: New York City. You don't even know how long I spent hunting these kicks down one summer. I was at the end of my tether and then my Dad found me a pair in a store in my town. I was jumping for joy. I spent in excess of six months waiting to purchase these. They are awesome. Made for the 35th Anniversary of the Adidas Superstar, I just had to snap them up, original and all. They're mega white with a few denim stains as the years have passed. I haven't worn them in ages actually. I put the orange laces in and now they look a bit whacky. Original Superstar
This weekend is the new Bournemouth Wheels Festival.. not sure if I'll make it down there, but just to set the scene..props outside the mobile bar in the square (it looks like the same bar they use for the air festival and for the Christmas market, but with motor themed props this time!)

Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to a girl in London today. The little Princess was born at 8.34 am and weighed in at 8lbs 3ozs. Both royal mum and baby are doing well. Proud Dad was at his wife's side. The new Princess is fourth in line to the British throne. Wonder if they will name her Diana, after her late grandmother...
