James and I went to the Newtown Community Festival yesterday. We went last year, but this year we were a bit disappointed. I guess it was because it rained a little and most of the time this year the stalls were the same. To be honest, I find most festivals are pretty similar year after year. A band I like, Palms, was playing that day, but I wasn’t too keen on hanging around a few more hours to see them because the rest of the festival was not that interesting.
Still an opportunity to get some nice pictures and have a bit of a chilled day. I did some hula-hooping too, which was pretty fun.
