She was and I think you would have enjoyed hearing her speak.

Cheryl sounds inspirational, Cherie; wish I could have been there to hear her speak (and that has nothing to do with the biscuits and chocolate, you understand …!).

Thanks Claudia. She was very inspirational. I was the only female apart from Cheryl and the others were inspired by her too.

We really do need to get the young people involved it is the only way to make the change we need.

Thank you for sharing, CherryPie. Those are all very good points, which need to be emphasized. My mother was an activist. From childhood, I learned to speak up, and do my little bit, to correct or improve our ways of life. Ms. Pidgeon is very right about young people feeling left out, and being disinterested in the voting process. It’s up to us to get them involved. They can truly make a difference.

Looking forward to your photos and report of the 2010 Festival.
