It all started with 3 opinionated women thinking it would be a good idea to record their voicing of opinions and put it online.
So, this year in May, Papel&Co teamed up with Lost Lady Society and 'Wabi-Sabi: A Podcast by Lost Lady Society' was born, deriving its name from the Japanese philosophy for a perfectly imperfect life.
Although, the name sums it up nicely, don't be fooled by expecting a high degree culture - it has all been started for fun. And if you're easily offended or believe that it is improper for ladies to swear, perhaps avoid this podcast altogether.

Shindig Festival, 23-26 May 2019
“It was a sunny day in May when after finishing work earlier, I brushed down my vintage boiler suit, fetched our camping gear from the attic, searched for that half empty set of eco glitter and set off for the Shindig Festival in Bruton, alone with my 4 children.
Being quite local to it, we had an easy ride and managed to find a good parking spot near the entrance which set us off to a good start.
With the kids ages ranging from 8 to 14 there was no excuses. Everyone was loaded on with the camping equipment and supplies that would see us through the next 3 days, minimising the number of trips we would have to make to the Family Camping area.
To the main gate and through the security check, we were in.
It felt good already - we knew exactly where we meant to go and could easily locate a toilet at every turn. The facilities on site were all compost loos and urinals - smelly but brilliant! All kept clean with an never ending supply of loo paper and hand gel. To be honest the whole site, through out the weekend was clean and tidy mainly due to everyone making use of the numerous banks of recycling bins and a team of litter pickers ensuring all was spotless. Great.
Found a nice camping spot on the edge of the area that was surrounded by the trees. The older two kids got given the task of putting our 5 - man tent up... well, it was a 4 sleeper tent, borrowed at a very last minute from a friend, that just had to do. Scouts trained and with the ‘Be Prepared” motto in their little hearts, they did a fantastic job while I focused on cooking some pot noodle dinner - on a gas cooker, borrowed at a very last minute from my boss.
With bellies full and faces cover in glitter we went to explore.
There were 10 venues offering the wholesome festival experience, the majority of which were tented - excellent for when the sun got a bit too much or when the weather turned on the 3rd day, which meant we could still enjoy listening to the great music and not get wet.
We were drifting from one venue to the other, enjoying each other’s company and feeling more like we were part of an immersive and collaborative movement than your average music festival. Everyone. I mean, EVERYONE seemed happy and up for a good time. It felt safe and highly organised with a wonderful, kid friendly vibe. Most of us there got fashion liberated, dressed up or sported sequins - but it did not matter if you didn’t want to either.
It was 23:30 as I was dancing the night away in the “Night Club” tent with my kids and all the other hedonists, that it dawned on me I was loving Shindig Festival.
The next two days were just about the same, mostly handing out in the Kids Kingdom and exploring some of the fine cousins. The catering was mainly vegetarian/vegan and of a good quality with plenty of choice ranging from pasta, pizza, fantastic Indian street food and some delicious choices for the meat eaters. The prices for main meals ranged from £6.50 - £10.00 each. There was a good choice of beer and cider priced at £4.50-£5.00/pint, although I stuck to the canned beer I brought to the festival with me. Another cool thing was that Shindig run an ecocup system - the first pint cost an extra £1 deposit for the cup, which was replaced every time you bought another drink. You could get your £1 back whenever you like but the cups were quite nice so worth keeping as a memento.
We made most of the Kids Kingdom but definitely want to return next year, perhaps accompanied by a bunch of good friends and with a little bit more planning ahead, to experience more of the comedy, street theatre and the well-being area.
My boss has already confirmed I can borrow the cooker again.

Poem Thursday #1
•Time•
Time and time again
We go back
Wishing
For the past times
Wanting for the time to slow
Or speed up
And knowing.
That only time will heal

That’s a good quote to start anything with. And a good inviting tune to go with it... “do you wanna come to my bedroom... lala laa”.
