Richmond Folk Festival


We did this all back to front... eventually I got to where I wanted to be - sitting on the dry grass in bright sunshine, listening to Forró Pé de Serra All Stars (Brazilian Forró), as heard last week on 97.3 WRIR, with the girls curled on my lap and leaning. It was fabulous, alive stuff.

For the kids the intense craft zone, crazy Russian magician show and stunning parrots had them grinning from ear to ear. I failed to embrace it quite so much as I was still recovery from 5 minutes of total J-loss. Thankfully in the crowds were folk who knew her and scooped her up.

I could smell the beer from nearby tents but as a lone parent stuck with home-brewed water.
