Pirates of the ... er, Thames

After much deliberation we've decided on a pirate theme for fancy dress day at Bestival. This weekend we will mostly be in the garden painting bits of cardboard which are going to transform Joe's pram into a pirate ship. The mind boggles! How embarrassed will he be when he's older?!

We're looking forward to a really camp time watching Scissor Sisters, Pet Shop Boys and Kid Creole & the Coconuts to name but a few, Simon is mostly looking forward to the food!

We have booked our campsite for the night before Bestival, last place for a hot shower etc. Then we're going on holiday to St Ives so that we can recover. We've had lots of recommendations for places to eat down there and we're really looking forward to trying a lot of them out.
