1) The brightly painted Latitude sheep - always a classic Latitude moment - plus it offers a tenuous link to this week's blog theme.
2) A lightning storm as we danced to Damon Albarn on the Obelisk Stage - the sky navy - the rain warm - and our dancing criminal - but it was like no experience I'd ever had before.
3) Luke Wright reading Dad Reins - that last line is caught in my mind and almost has me in tears every time I hear it.
4) D.I.Y - Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott - beautiful sunny Friday afternoon - sing-a-long.
5) Jemima Foxtrot mesmerised me with her poetry - her excitement was refreshing and infectious.
6) A guy wearing a basset hound costume in thirty degree heat.
7) Mining The Meaning - "Introduced by Dr Katy Shaw, a leading authority on the mining strike, the event will consider the social, cultural and political legacy of the strike and ask what connections can be drawn to the here-and-now in a post-Thatcher, post-Labour, pro-protest world." - Jemima Foxtrot, Luke Wright, Attila the Stockbroker, Michael Rossen and Andy Bennett read a selection of poems written by miners and their wives at the time of the strikes.
8) On Thursday night we went to the theater and saw Kate Tempest's Hopelessly Devoted - Thought-provoking and arresting - impossible not to be moved and inspired.
9) Goat - psychedelic, bizarre, unfathomable - Shaun dancing and whooping like something possessed.
10) Vegan food in a field - Peckish Peacock - Healthy Carrot - Churros - And vegan cake
11) Helen Mort - I'd heard Helen read at Latitude 2012, but this year she was even better -if you haven't read any of her poetry then it is a MUST.
12) Hula Hoop Girl - She performed a host of amazing tricks as The Black Keys played - we couldn't take our eyes off her - I think Shaun fell in love.
13) A moth flying to the ground carrying a wasp - squeezing into the grass - burrowing out of sight.
14) Scroobius Pip ending our festival with 'Thou Shalt Always Kill' - packed tent with people spilling outside. Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to Facebook
