The festival has come and gone, and my plan of writing two blog posts per week has failed miserably! I managed 500 words on the middle Monday, sitting outside St Andrew’s in Naunton, while Steven Isserlis played some Bach to a filled church. Sleep was often in short supply (whether due to long hours, late concerts, partying neighbours or busy minds) during the two weeks, and free time (with no ringing phones or email access) to sit and think about writing about the festival happened only that one time. It was really lovely to get away from town – even if I spent two hours of my time there standing in Naunton Recreation Ground, ensuring nobody parked on the cricket square, and rather foolishly getting quite sunburnt (I had suncream in the car, but did I think to use it…?). Sitting outside the church having lunch, the cello and harpsichord wafting out the door, in the sunshine made a welcome change from the more fast paced office/venue atmosphere — it’s exciting to be in the thick of it, but you need a break from time to time!
