Anyone tried this? My mum just found it in the co-op. She says it's excellent 😁

I'm another late starter, my first was 2009 at the age of 48. I think I missed a couple since then but I stopped counting ages ago. I missed out on 2020 which I had thought would be my last (after all I would have been nearly 60 then). But i wasn't ready to go out and thanks to my good friend @Tranquility of Solitudegot lucky for 2023. My hubby is not very fit now so it did make it a different experience for us. I did get to dance a bit and drew some admirers from the younger generation but I think they were being nice. The admirers from the slightly older folks were more genuine 😁 So I think I'm ready to call it a day and go out on a high.

Yes the men's shower situation was crazy. I heard that when they swapped them round the women had to wait for the last guy to emerge - he'd been in the shower for 25 minutes apparently 🤣 The staff working the toilets were brilliant and even though the queues looked bad they moved quickly. Although it seemed very far out we weren't actually that much further than some of the general camping. Best part was the convenience of the car parking, easy in and easy out. And of course the guys helping with their wheelbarrows and showing you around were an added bonus. I really enjoyed it, spent the mornings chilling outside the tent chatting with neighbours.

We went for the so called glamping (aka pre pitched) option of Sticklinch because we are old and apart from the campervan option the only way we could physically do it. I was surprised at how many younger folk chose this option, I expected a slightly older or overseas crowd. Anyhow I agree that more pre pitched camping would skew the demographic to older and wealthier, which is not a good thing. We are hanging up our boots now, this was our last Glastonbury I reckon.

I see Lewis has taken your advice.

That'll help my garden x

I read this tip a few years back and yes it's definitely worth it.

No you're not wrong. I've just dropped all my baskets and praying for rain in Edinburgh. You have a beautiful garden btw.b

Getting into the spirit with a peek at a tent in our backyard

Mine is piled up ready to pack. If I do it too early I forget what I have.. final pack on Saturday. Heading to Liverpool for father's day

After the Proclaimers I spent the next few hours in the shelter of the woods by Woodsies. My go to place when it's hot

Your have to arrive by the West, then it's just luck if you're in pink or orange. We been in orange once , but pink most other times. It made no difference in queuing times. All were carnage. Never had a problem getting out though.

Mine runs at over 4 hours at the moment.

Perfect Day

10 years on and the Hives are playing the same slot, second up on the Other stage Friday One of my (many) favourite moments. So I'm ten years older but I think I'm still up for it. So who's bringing the ladder? Just me..?
