At the weekend I had something of an adventure with a bunch of people I know through Church (and some people I didn’t know so well…). We went to the Netherlands together to attend the Lowlands music festival to celebrate the fact that Jon and Helen are getting married in a couple of weeks.

The weekend was brilliant fun, even if the weather was a little bit rubbish. Sunday produced the most rain ever for the area at this time of year, and it really added to the festival feeling!

Far and away the most entertaining act of the weekend was Nizlopi, who played at 11:30 on sunday morning. Their album might be a very chilled out affair, but their live show was bursting with energy and was tremendous fun to be a part of! I would highly recommend going to see them if you ever get the chance.

I will try to get hold of some photos etc. and when that happens I will probably post again with a few more details of the antics we got up to, but for the moment here are a few words which sum up what went on (in no particular order):

• Wheelchair jumping
• Darth Vader
• Poi
• Mud
• Music
• Silent Disco
• Dutch
• Munten
• Giant Carrot
• Grolsch
• Very public toilets
• Matching T-shirts (in print!)
