Day two:
So, what an amazing sight seeing a big dish right in front of you as you wake up in the middle of a field. Its like a whole new world, which is funny because after all, this is a science and music festival based at one of the most famous observatories in the world.
First on the agenda.. Bacon butties!! :D with our choice of sauce. Ketchup or BBQ... Tricky choice. Whilst eating, we refreshed ourselves by having some very nice thirst quenching juice. Apple for Andrew, Orange for Sam... haha! Just kidding.. we both had orange this time. Shock horror! :o
After breakfast, a quick toilet stop, before heading off for more exploration. The planet field. We witnessed a Jedi fight. We watched Jedi wannabes, training for the future space wars, yet to happen. Next, we both took it in turns play a very scientific game, we had goggles over our eyes that altered our vision to make it difficult to through a ball into a bag from distance. It was a draw, typical..
Next we headed off to get some lunch in the form of crepes. Andrew had a Banoffee whilst Sammy stuck with a favourite and had White chocolate and raspberry. :D We sat down on the grass in the burning sun, overlooking the Lovell telescope. What a magnificent sight and experience. After lunch, we decided to look at the pop up book shop, while watching an author reading to a few people. He didn't look familiar to us. After this, we had a stroll down a pathway that led to even more scientific stalls and exhibits, all while having a large telescope watching us - The Lovell telescope. We held rock that was very much like moon rock and we held parts of meteorites all while collecting postcards. After this we looked through a smaller telescope (much smaller) that was designed to look at the sun only. We even saw how graphine was made. We decided to be childish, because well, you only live once (Oh, dear me, Yolo!) We decided to make something called a polsar out of a polystyrene ball, pipe cleaners, paper and felt tip pens. After this, we decided to buy a little something for ourselves to remember the weekend. We then bought another drink, and decided to go and explore near the Lovell stage. There were lots and lots of food stalls and a few bars and gift shops. We stayed here for a while sitting down somewhere and had another drink (No we didn't just sit down and have drinks all weekend, we swear, It was a hot sunny weekend.. :) ) After passing an hour or two away, we thought it was best to think about tea. We decided to get chips. Andrew had cheesy chips, and Sammy had Chips with Ketchup (Yummy!) while watching Warpaint perform on the stage. After tea, and a very...interesting performance, went over to see a Whovian comedian in one of the other tents. “For love of Doctor Who” by Toby Hadoke, which was hilarious. Laughing or sonic screwdrivers and psychic paper away. Always remember ‘Bow ties are cool!!’
After this brilliant comedy act, it was time for the last act, the main music performance on the main stage, ALT-J. This was the cherry on top of the weekend (okay, not literally..). This was a truly out-of-this-world performance, getting everyone up on their feet, dancing and singing away with some truly catchy and amazing tunes. (Well, others danced away, but we cuddled. Everyone say... “AWWW”, Alright, don't then..) haha!
This was a truly Awesome experience. It has blown our minds. Thank you Bluedot and Sky at Night for this truly amazing opportunity to go to our first ever festival.
