Greenbelt

Closet Greenbelters

"Yeah, I know Greenbelt." These weren't words I was expecting to hear during my annual performance review. My new boss continued: "I went two or three times when it was at Castle Ashby. You're at Cheltenham now aren't you?"

So we were talking about the same thing then!

While I wasn't expecting him to know about this charity I spend a good chunk of my time with, I wasn't surprised to hear he did. There seem to be closet Greenbelters everywhere. I've met quite a few at work.

They always smile at their memories of the festival, but few seem keen to come back. I think they view it as something they did when they were younger - not something to continue as the years click on.

That's not to say I won't be trying to talk them round though. (Do I need mention, the April ticket deadline's just two days away?)
