Amin GirasolI'm looking forward to #RetroFest #Swindon tomorrow!
I've flown in from Ireland, and for a laugh I chose to walk the 17km into Bristol instead of taking the bus.
It was an unexpected treat!

Does anyone have phone or email contact details for the folks behind #RetroFest2026 #Swindon?
Edit: panic averted. Tony Jewell got back to me by email within minutes.
~~~They only use platforms that I avoid, and there are no other contact details on their website. The contact forms seem to be mainly aimed at collecting addresses for marketing purposes.
Long story short, I accidentally bought an extra ticket for the Sunday, and I'd prefer to put it back in the pile so it can be sold to another retrocomputing aficionado who's going to decide to attend in the next week.~~~
"No modern exotic evergreens ever attract our English birds like the true old English trees and shrubs... The common hawthorn hedge round a country garden shall contain three times as many nests, and be visited by five times as many birds, as the foreign evergreens, so costly to rear and so sure to be killed by the first old-fashioned frost."

Playing live this Sunday at the Richard Jefferies Museum - we are pleased to welcome Jack and Izzy, the duo known as HUSHWING, to our gardens!
HUSHWING is a band rooted in a shared love for travel, the outdoors, and each other. With lyrical echoes of Bon Iver and Hozier, the cozy, intimate production style of Flyte, and the melodic warmth reminiscent of Eva Cassidy, HUSHWING crafts a delicate blend of folk, alternative-indie, and pop.
Peter SketchAn early morning train ride during the week was brightened up by seeing my first Wild Carrot of the season just starting to open by platform 4 of #Swindon station. I go to all the most exotic locations for #WildflowerHour. #Wiltshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography
