What E Saw, What B Saw: IndieTracks

Last weekend was a tale of two very different music festivals in Derbyshire - lucky for us, we were guests of the event which didn't come to a muddy premature end...

This was Elle's first visit and Becca's third to IndieTracks - a wonderful blend of indie pop music and steam trains, held at the Midland Railway Centre near Ripley.

Our Saturday was spent exploring every inch of the festival site , from the quirky church to the heritage railway museum, enjoying upbeat tunes and tasty treats along the way.

Highlights included: sitting on the floor of a steam train luggage carriage watching David Leach perform with his ukuele; taking a pew (literally) for The Hearing's ethereal set in a beautiful model church; indulging in delicious vegan ice-cream (winning flavour was the cherry) and woodfired sourdough pizza (eaten on the converted train carriage bar); spooking each other out while walking round the empty museum warehouse - and finally, not getting wet!

Of course, we brought our cameras along for the ride. Here's a little look at what E saw and B saw...

Flashback: May

It's been over a year since we moved from our original blog, Make Do and Spend, to The Weekend Collective, so we thought it was worth a retrospective look back into the vaults.

It's so great having our blog posts to remind us of where we were, and what we were doing at this time one, two or five years ago. A  bit like a diary, that we share with the rest of the internet.

Last year...

Two years ago...

  • Two years ago, Elle was taking a well needed stroll through the bluebells.
  • And Becca was holidaying in Positano, on Italy's Almalfi Coast (eating lots of pizza and pasta)
