Herbert's Dream

THEY are always completely bonkers, totally bizarre - and brilliant to watch. I refer of course to the Lakes Alive events that descend on Cumbria every few weeks as consolation for us not having the Olympics.

The free arts events are always the most amazing spectacles and last night's event at Keswick was no exception. Herbert's Dream was the name of it but it's anyone guess what that has to do with five people walking around town in luminous inflated white suits looking like giant marshallow men.

You didn't need to understand it to enjoy it. This was an inspiring and fun event for half-term and fortunately the rain held off for the occasion. See more of my pictures on flickr.
