Oops sorry, appear to have missed a day! That'll be running a festival for you.

Can't even remember the last thing I wrote but we're rockin' and rollin' here and so far so good. I'm still recovering from an incredible Flaming Lips Saturday night headliner: Wayne Coyne rolling down the steps of the castle in his inflatable ball before mounting the stage and tearing through their greatest hits and then some.

'Yoshimi…' and 'The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song'were particular highlights but the whole psychedelic wonder of it was just amazing. Emiliana Torrini, DJ Derek and Black Kids were also all ace.

The village fete meets 'Hi De Hi' feel of the place has definitely got into people's heads now and from the early morning 'Hi De Hi' bongs on our tannoy system to the fancy dress and marching band competition its a hilarious knees up wherever you look.

More gossip later.
