I think I was only at the treehouse for a KWR talk, and then I was actually outside the tent in the rain. So if you were doing that one, I might have seen you. Although I think I left before the questions (because I was getting wet).

And it was very lovely to run into you a couple of times and go to the Unthanks set together.
Not sure I can ever match up to ken's Jesus Arms performance (drinking the bar dry on a Monday night ain't ever gonna be my thing), but my son and I had a great GB this year. In previous years it was all about just "coping" tbh - he's autistic and needs lots of support. But he's 13 now, loves all kinds of music, thinks camping in the rain is funny and was patient enough to accompany Mum to a few talks. So we did pretty well.

Just seen today on the Greenbelt Facebook thing that they have been having Serious Words with Friends First about their flyering, which was Not Authorised and definitely Not Acceptable.
Greenbelt has apologised to anyone affected, and has asked FF for a proper, formal apology, as well as (and this really cracks me up) payment for the time taken to clear the flyers and deal with the problems. They have also made it clear that FF are Very Much Not Welcome.
Judging by the response, others are also delighted at how seriously and quickly Greenbelt have dealt with this. So if you were affected adversely, then do let them know.
As for me, I had a flyer on my car, which I didn't notice until the following morning. After it had been out in the rain all night. I was surprised at seeing it, because it isn't the normal Greenbelt way.
I did read "Do you want to meet someone of the same faith as you" and thought "no way - one Grumpy, cynical dickhead is enough for any realationship"
