Westray Connections 2015 – The Open Air Family Music Festival
It’s time to relax after a hectic Saturday night of dancing and partying into the small hours (and then a couple of hours of photo editing for me until 3am). What better way to relax than some more music – this time in a marquee. There’s a marquee for the drinks, a marquee for the food, a marquee for children and a large marquee for the bands. I’m sure there were five marquees but I have no idea what the fifth was for!
The food was utterly delicious. Did you see it? Piles of glorious gourmet snacks and heartier fare. It was almost enough to keep me away from the music. Almost, but not quite.
Thanks to everyone involved. It was wonderful.
