I think that was the busiest and most insane Larmertree festival to date, I even managed to fit in some circus stuff between the drinking and dancing ;-) Mushypea run a great circus area every year with really well organised workshops, it is also an opportunity to get some individual pointers as most jugglers are more than willing to share their skills.Most of my time was spent with my diabolos as Martin was there, so we could compare our progress and swap two diabolo tricks with each other. Stevoid demonstrated the two diabolo S-fan for me as well as showing me an easier way to start the S-fan involving a right stick grind to position one of the diabolos, I think I will be working on it for some time to come.
Rick has similar goals to me, in that he went to the BJC and also wants to be able to cascade 5 clubs. He was kind enough to let me have a go with his pirouette clubs which have a very long handle and are much lighter than the beach clubs I use. I took part in his hat manipulation workshop, I`m going to have to get a hat as I enjoyed it so much.
I attend Steve`s acrobalance every year, this year he taught me some much more complicated maneuvers performed by two people. Unlike every year before, this years weather was cool, so the workshop didn`t feel as physically punishing as I have come to expect.

Hi, I just thought I'd have a look to see if I could locate Mushy Pea on the web. I used to know the founders Phil and Andrea from North Wales when I was juggling a lot and quite fancied emailing them to say hi after nearly a decade. Your blog was the only mention I could find of Mushy Pea still existing and it looked like Phil in your photo. Have you got any idea where Mushy Pea is located these days?

Nope. But I bet if you contact a festival called 'Larmatree'they can tell you :)
