Festival Stewarding is my Good Medicine

This is the second year I've stewarded Beautiful Days. It's my local festival, pretty much everyone in East Devon who likes music and partying rocks up here. I steward as an Oxfam volunteer,  I get free entry, three meal vouchers and access to the crew party and Oxfam gets paid my minimum wage earnings for three eight hour shifts so it's win-win. Having a waterproof tent matters, last year I had a £10 one from a bargain shop, this year I paid £30 for a good tent with a flysheet that was reduced from £60 from a camping shop and it made a world of difference. The last morning was the best, I took my time leaving as the day was - beautiful-  from  dawn when the first light shows and trees remain dark to bright sun that burnt the night's light rainfall off my tent. I'm bit by the bug now, next year I am going to organise my holidays so that I can work at least three festivals. Love it!
