Yesterday I was at the Woodland Festival at Newstead Abbey. A good but long day with Heather Small and DJ sets by Craig Charles, Lovely Laura+Ben Santiago, Jon Pleased Wimmin, Roger Sanchez and a few minutes of The Shapeshifters which was way to hot and sweaty even outdoors 🤣 .

I also somehow didn't pay for parking as my first chip and pin transaction of the day popped up to say it was declined as I'd reached the limit a few hours after arriving🤪 .

This one is from Newstead Abbey. Formerly the home of monks before the dissolution (apparently founded by Henry II as penance for the murder of Thomas Becket), it is better known as Lord Byron's manor.

There are some very nice peacocks there.
