day eleven.three

back home after a bash for the volunteers in the knowledge that the festival production team have several hours of work still to do before they are out of the cathedral this evening. the work the volunteers do it priceless, although we do try to allocate a cost to it for when we discuss it with funders. It is important to thank them all somehow, but I wonder whether the sit down meal we have might be replaced by something event more appropriate - not certain what at this stage...
we'll have a full house of runners in the morning to help with cleaning everything up, but for the moment, I am one g&t down already, and it won't be long before I collapse in a small heap.
Marie-Elisabeth Hecker came to the bash and it took very little convincing to entice her back to Lichfield. Watch this space - I think we might be seeing more of her here very soon.
