I am myself in a full comprehending configuration. One thing I grasp is that the other man, the one who says that the parking lot would be "GRASS SURFACED, often with sheep grazing on it and very rarely filled to capacity" (my emphasis) is plainly a useless pile of protoplasm. And this for what? Flipside and the Food and Drink Festival between them take up five days a year! And those are what this grassy parking lot (or churned up mud puddle after a December Flipside) is all about. Well, those and, I most strongly suspect, other festive money-earners of which we yet do not know, except that they will have naught to do with the original Aldeburgh vision. Not if Roger the Dodger has anything to do with it.<br /><br />The Flipside website gives excellent information on how to get to it via public transport and/or taxi, the latter for those who share Margaret Thatcher's horror of the former. Giving such information and not setting about wrecking wondrous vistas and ecosystems is the answer to this. Flipside is Brazilian in origin, and thus I suspect the organizers are very conscious of this, hence their provision of unusually detailed and clear transportation information. Now I think it's time for my annual reading of The Wind in the Willows.Philip Amoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11739418522974972567noreply@blogger.com
