I got the same feeling whenever Steve & Lloyd would do their hilarious scenes together.

I know I would have :))))) anyway, I think it's a wonderful little touch picking up that festival as something Mary would have stumbled on and enjoyed.

Her facial reaction to Mary's revelation was priceless!

Although it may have started out as a way to celebrate the solstice, Burning Man is now more like Woodstock meets Mad Max. Well seen... from behind your TV screen. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-36281256479095833242016-08-29T21:21:22.045+01:002016-08-29T21:21:22.045+01:00I'd never heard of that particular festival be...I'd never heard of that particular festival before though I'm sure plenty of Canadians have. From the bit I read it seemed to be a bit New Age and therefore outside of my realm of reality so that's likely why I haven't heard of it :)))Tvorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414660140541680599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-72602411070887376892016-08-29T20:44:05.531+01:002016-08-29T20:44:05.531+01:00Ha ha!

Postman Pat, pants (not the kind with zippers), GCSEs, not knowing exactly what these things were took away from what was going on onscreen. When Mary mentioned being at Burning Man, I nearly spit into my coffee at the thought. It's interesting that, for all the crass commercialization weabbykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16808858897096902157noreply@blogger.com
