Arrive at The Maes with thousands of others. What a wonderful setting.
The 'pink castle' as my daughter named it looked superb.
After
the long walk across the fields to the entrance, I was wondering if I
had done the right thing, wearing my armour and carrying a sword,
shield and helmet, when Frances Donovan from ITV1 tapped me on the
shoulder and asked if they could film an interview with me!
We
met up again after watching the druids marching across the Maes. Meilir
and I were filmed for close ups, Meilir looking mean and moody, me
staring into space. I was 'miked up' and talked to some children from
Treuddyn about my armour and the contents of my pouch. This was
followed by a much needed cup of coffee, (thanks Frances) and a chat
while leaning on a gate. She was fascinated by what I was doing and
why.
