We will be pleased if you like this article.
It costs you nothing, but a good deed is done :-)
Our first tent fest took place on a lake in the village of Novaki, not far from the town of Lubny, Poltava region. There will be a lot of photos to reflect the number of events that took place and to display the maximum number of participants. Natasha and I arrived early in the evening to get acquainted with the place and get to know Alexander, who cordially invited us to his place. This is the landscape that met us on the lake. Isn't it romantic?
After walking around the neighborhood, we went to bed. We woke up early in the morning and drank coffee at six o'clock in the morning on the veranda of a house on the beach.
We walked along the surrounding meadows, took pictures of flower-grass and spider bugs.
We wandered into a really dark forest, where it was uncomfortable with rustling leaves, ravines, and paths leading into the unknown.
We came across a rabbit house and a pheasant house. Pheasants, like the peacocks in the cartoon about Munchausen, were beautiful, but screamed loudly and disgustingly ;-)
Participants began to arrive. We managed to take a picture of the first ones with the hashtag of the fest, and then the leaf got lost, but we didn't bother with it too much.
The tent city began to unfold, the flag was raised.
Guests continued to arrive and stay at the camp. Everyone was in anticipation of evening fun and entertainment.
The first round was the games of darts and boccia. Boccia was a discovery for many, but quite exciting.
Somewhere there were musical battles. Passing in places in choral singing. Rare, but all guitars were well tuned ;-)
Fishermen, for whom solitude is often very necessary for the catch, had to fish in a noisy and cheerful atmosphere. And the fish treated this with understanding.
And then it got dark and a real party began: guitars rattled from everywhere, singers broke their voices.
And only the mafia players were serious and focused. It is very important to prevent the victory of the mafia in our country. ;-)
And no matter how hard the presenter tried to remind the departed players that the "corpses do not speak" the heated fighters with Cosa Nostra, all the time tried to insert their comment into the discussion. Even when the city was asleep.
The feast lasted until four in the morning, which can be considered a good result :-)
Some of this super party even got on the video, so you have the opportunity to join the beautiful:
Someone did not waste time and took pictures with each other.
Then a short period of sleep and the calm of a warm morning called us forward to accomplishments.
We started with fish soup, which was prepared according to all traditions: with a glass of vodka and a brazier stewed in the ear.
We have already started Instagram to write to everyone "Meet, this is my today's meal "
There are potatoes with mushrooms in a cast iron and fried fish and the king of the third day - an omelet on a fire ... mmm ... This is how the fish soup was tasting:
After the fish soup, those who are not fishermen, but hunters, went to shoot. I boast - my result was good.
The game, which was born spontaneously: A bouquet of flowers, had to be passed in a circle with the words: "Why? And just like that! Tra-la-la-la Tra-la-la-la" ... It turned out very touching and sometimes even soulful.
Oksana was moved and showered others with gifts. All logically asked: "And for what?". The answer was: "And just like that!" ;-)
By that time, the weather had warmed up the air and water so much that even the most notorious frosts, like Olga, could not resist and climbed into the lake to swim.
Some nature lovers have almost collected a basket of mushrooms. True, after testing them for toxicity by specialists, there are much less left ... I will say more precisely - there are two left ;-)
We fried them with an onion and made a side dish for kebabs, which we only got around to on the second evening.
We had time to fry only a few skewers, there was a real summer meeting ahead according to the calendar, when a terrible storm front came. When it started to rain, there was a feeling that the sky had broken through and now all the water that was there fell on us.
In the pouring rain, we collected all the things that cannot get wet and crammed into the house. He became our salvation from the storm. We, sitting on the veranda of the house, came up with the idea of calling this lake "Storm Boccia" - so that it is incomprehensible and powerful! The songs on this veranda during the storm were very dramatic and will be remembered for a long time.
Little by little, the elements calmed down, and the setting sun left us, playing with the outgoing rays already in the clear night sky.
The third day, as the day of parting, was covered with light sadness. Those who left, took pictures with those who remained and disappeared into the distance.
Before leaving, I took a picture with Alexander, who with his participation turned our event into a real spiritual congress of like-minded people. If you want to relax with your soul, among the most beautiful nature by the lake, then you will not find a more convenient option than his. Contact him and he will help you in all organizational matters. I will say this: at his lake, according to the level of care for us, we felt at home. This, believe me, is worth a lot.
It was our turn to leave. With a bright sadness, we said goodbye to those who still remained in our camp and drove off. Fresh milk was bought in Novaki. The car turned onto the Lubny-Kiev highway.
That's it, the first summer meeting is over. We are tired and happy returning home.
