Festival time

The attached picture does nor really belong to the Oude Wellington blog but is just a snippet of the exiting and colourful world of Grahamstown during the National Arts Festival. We spend a week indulging in paintings, plays, comedy, ballet and street crafts. All though the spirit was not as high as last years (the traders and venue owners complaint about over regulation and the new alcohol laws prohibiting night trade)it was again most enjoyable and some extraordinary gems of performances were on offer. I had a whole week with my little daughter who came from Johburg's stress factory to spend the time with me. With one word I enjoyed every minute of the festival and can only enthusiastically recommend this wonderful event to anyone interested in art and theater.
