The colourful, happy, smiling dudes have been arriving for this year's Big Chill festival at Eastnor. The city hippies are letting their hair down for a weekend of fun, music and workshops, bringing with them some sunny light relief to the town and, we hope, an economic spike, as food, medicines, sleeping bags and other forgotten essentials are shopped for.

The influx of hippy vehicles has caused Ledbury's roads approaching the Top Cross to be lined with vehicles nearly all day long.

Peaches and plums at Jenkins' Grocers.

A pleasant place to sit and snack in the sun. These grinning Cheshire lads are being positive about the weather prospects.
