Well we returned from yet another Neurem Creek festival filled with love and smelling of whiskey and fire side smoke. We had almighty sessions around the fire and caught up with old dear friends and made lots of new ones. I have to say these small special festivals really are so much more successful at what a festival is supposed to be about for me, and a lot of the other festival fans were echoing this sentiment. As a parent I have adifferent slant to the wild young ones free of all responsibilities. But there were soem of those types at this littel festivla nd they had a ball and fitted in perfect. I believe our children are richer, in intellect and spirit, from the experience of attending festivals year in year out. Always worth the trouble you go to to bring them with you too. If you got kids, like live music, I say get your whole clan along to any folk festival near you(we drive 12 hours at a pinch) and set up your camp and relax in one of lifes true golden cultural recharging experiences. Your kids will thank you for it for years to come.
