Final Reflections

We've blogged a good few words about this year's Greenbelt and we're sure you've read enough to know what you missed if you weren't there with us.

We'd like to finish with 2 of our favourite photos, which we think sum up, more than words, the spirit of this year's festival.


The first is of me (Gio) with a rather lovely sunflower. As this year's theme was 'Rising Sun' this picture had special significance for me and it will remind me of all my happy memories of my first ever Greenbelt, every time I look at it.

My second picture shows our tent lit up at night with Bris looking out for me as I came back from a final visit to one of the indispensible Andy Loos ...


With so many tents in the camping ground, having a lighted window and a friendly face looking out, was so welcome and stopped me getting lost.

This picture also reminds me, that there is so much going on at Greenbelt, that late night returns to your tent are very much the norm. Once back at our tent we would would sit up for another hour or so, relaxing over a glass of wine and talking over the events of the day with friends Travelling Moose and T5 Wilbur. We didn't get a lot of sleep but we got enough to fully enjoy the next day.

I can't wait for next year and Greenbelt 2009.

Lots of love Gio, Bris and the Greenbelt crew xxx

Hi guys. They are lovely photos and we can see why hey are your favourites. Gio looks very smiley and it must be very reassuring to have Bris and he rest of the gang watching out for you.

Bob from Rugby enjoyed his first visit too, and says he has been doing much reading as a result.
