With the help of a grant from South Gloucestershire Council, we were able to host a return visit of our friends from Vilanova i la Geltru. Both sides visited the Upton on Severn Festival on the Saturday, and the Catalans received a very good reception. The weather was poor, though, not good for photography. But by the Monday Bank Holiday, the sun was shining, so here is a taste of our performances at the village carnival. Click on the images to see a larger version.
