title WoW Festival, Burston, Norfolk - 29th June - 1st July 2018 intro It's our first famberly outing to WoW festival, a whole three miles away near Wolseley Bridge on the outskirts of Burston in Norfolk - a mile or two north of Diss. It's a late birthday present and turns out to be a really nice festival - a reasonable turnout of people, but by no means too many, plus great weather, good beer and some amazing music, the highlight of which is probably the thrashgrass band Whiskey Shivers, who have improbably flown in from Austin, Texas. It's all very relaxed, especially as there are never any queues for the bogs and the camp site is a mere 200 metres from the main arena, plus we're camping in the van next to Hannah, Ed and their friends, which means that the boys have other children to hang out with. imgc0781 Harry's got his ear defenders on already imgc0783 This might be the band Love Songs for Losers imgc0787 The bar staff get carried away imgc0789 A well-dressed mannequin imgc0794 Isobel does some diablo imgc0803 A band appears imgc0804 An abandoned caravan imgc0806 Day two: one of the nicer festival toilet views imgc0810 Isobel helps out with temporary tattoos imgc0812 Harry gets his hair done imgc0814 Charlie plays some guitar imgc0817 Isobel and the boys sit on bales imgc0822 The Delta Beltas imgc0826 A big resonator guitar imgc0829 Delta blues from the Delta Beltas imgc0833 Outside, there's a water fight going on imgc0837 More water fights imgc0848 Fred pumps up some air to launch a rocket imgc0860 Harry's got a fish on a stick imgc0864 An explosion of water as the rocket launches imgc0878 Harry looks in a mirror imgc0883 Fred and Harry are doing crafts imgc0888 The Maui Waui tent imgc0894 Harry gets his creation photographed imgc0903 Katie Spencer in action imgc0907 Someone's excited for pizza, so they do a handstand imgc0915 Funky parasol imgc0924 A small girl, and a lot of toilets imgc0925 Gaz wanders over imgc0926 Some of the outdoor urinals -
