We are lucky to be able to help out at the annual Kendal Mountain (Film) Festival. We don’t have difficult jobs – door staff checking people’s tickets and other easy stuff like that. But we do enjoy the event enormously and get a privileged opportunity to see all the movies etc.
This year one of the festival’s judges was Will Gadd, who we’ve been lucky enough to spend a few days out (and under) the mountains with in Canada and England. So after a frenzy of text messages we met up for a beer at – some might say the biggest part of the festival – the Saturday evening party at the Brewery Centre! Some souls were out partying till 3am. π― We didn’t last quite that late, but never-the-less, I’m still completely knackered. Especially as we were up early (ish) on Sunday to go to Wilf’s cafΓΒ© for breakfast with our friends (Vikki, Michelle and Terry) who had stayed over. Sunday was another long day and a late night watching the “best of” films in Cinema 1. I think this is called ‘burning the candle at both ends’? π
For those who need to know, the full rundown of prizes is here…
It was a sedentary, albeit enjoyable, weekend and it was great to see so many old friends. π This gave all the more stimulus to get something ‘done’ on Tuesday, weather or not π
So look out for the blog
