JUNE NEWSLETTER

Hello everyone. Welcome to you new Barefoot lovers who I met at the Parents Like Us Festival in Leith. I hope you enjoyed the weekend. I think you will agree that the weather was certainly 'mixed', but we really couldn't complain about Sunday. It was the first time that I had been at the Festival, either as a seller or as a 'punter'. My family came along on Sunday and they really enjoyed it. Aiden especially enjoyed having a python placed around his neck. It's a high stall rental fee but I think I would still like to have a stall next year - the atmosphere is just really good - I think a perfect outlet for Barefoot Books. I was especially pleased with all the positive comments we received about our books and puppets. Many thanks to my colleague, Heather, who you may have met.

THE BIG TENT FESTIVAL - Scotland's Biggest Eco Festival
Don 't know if you're like me... I LOVE the idea of a FESTIVAL. I spent 4 days in June 1995 at Glastonbury (then, without children). I had a great time, loved seeing Oasis and Pulp, Squeeze, Simple MInds etc..... Didn't love so much trying to find my tent after the last act, queueing for toilets, queueing for washes. But still, LOVE to tell eveyone - I WENT TO GLASTONBURY!!! To be honest, I don't know what to expect of The Big Tent. I Imagine it's a festival for 'mature family oriented people'.
Also... I must admit I like my Indie Rock bands or my 'american rock' - how I would love to be at Glastonbury this year to see Bruce Springsteen - but I'm quite looking fowardto the folk acts who are appearing at The Big Tent, like Attic Lights, Shooglenifty, and many more. Click on the links. As I said, I can't recommend it on experience - I just want to try it out and see what it's like. The good news is it only costs £20 for the whole weekend, with under 12's free.. a little more for camping.
Please let me know if I can help you, or anyone you know, with any fundraising.

Carole Ann Duffy is the new Poet Laureate. She is the author of 2 Barefoot Books - the Tear Thief and The Barefoot Book of Classic Poems
Enjoy the good weather. Remember... the special offers start 1st June.
