A bit dull first thing but turned into a beautiful sunny day. Did a 70Km day trip to Tamworth where the music festival has just started the ten days it is on for. The long main street is blocked off and there are buskers along each side competing with each other in the noise stakes. They range from about four to 84. Had a general look around the area and then spent about 3 hours listening to the buskers. Very worthwhile and glad we went after thinking it may be all line dancing type music. Definitely was not.
