Last week Rumfest hit the Excel centre in east london, and responsible adults that we are we thought what better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than to ‘Sample’ fine rums from around the world. I mean what could go wrong?
Here’s what went down:
12pm: Rumfest opens to the public….
2pm: We arrive… it is a Sunday our day of rest after all.
2:20pm We’ve been inside for twenty minutes and it’s like a party in full swing, we’re already getting that warm on the inside feeling that neat Rum and crackers provide, and people are dancing to the sound of Soca music.
3pm: We decide that maybe it’s a good idea to grab lunch, noticing that some of the people around us are falling asleep in their chairs as we eat.
3:30pm “Thank God for that pie and mash!” We head back in…
4pm: “How much for a bottle of 8 year old Ron Fortuna Nigaraguaguann please?”
4:30pm: Half an hour left… “Quick let’s see if anyone’s giving out free samples!”
5pm: “Whadya mean it’s finished?”
And there you have it, thank you Rumfest, it truly was a carnival for people in denial of winter. Next year we’re going for both days!
