Since my last column, I have attended two
cracking (and very different) festivals down
the road in Alresford. The Watercress
Festival was superb and I certainly feel I
have done my bit for this delicate crop after
tasting almost 40 varieties of homemade
Watercress Soup – among other things alongside celebrity cook Sophie Grigson on
the day. This event really does go from
strength to strength and it was striking for
me how many people I chatted to this year
who came from far afield to enjoy the town’s
big day.
The other festival was of course the
Alresford Music Festival. Given the
downpours we witnessed throughout June
it was remarkable how the clouds parted
and the sun shone on Arlebury Park. I said
I was looking forward to seeing my little girl
dance in the sunshine and I got my
wish. Many constituents will know I am a
keen festival goer but it's usually on a
slightly larger scale than this and
somewhere in Somerset! But seriously,
Alresford is the new Glastonbury for me.
Huge festivals have their place but these
small, relaxed events are just perfect,
especially for those of us with small kids.
