PassingCloud

Saved up for a long time so I could spend what I liked without a quibble. Food and booze prices were fine.

Darble had two taps for the entire campsite. But, even then, just don’t go during the half hour of long queue and it was fine. My only other complaint is that I couldn’t get to experience more than I did. edit: actually, serious complaint — all of the selfish pricks that left litter/tents/gazebos, etc. all over the campsite and car parks. Car parks even more frustrating when you clearly had room in the car to bring this crap. Hope that the ticket gods smite you forever more. We had 5 tents in a little group and, without really making an effort, it remained spotless all week. It’s not difficult!

Thanks. So I assume they happily released all the tickets to yourself?

Damn. Forgot this started tonight. Only useful thing about the app.

Oh ok. I was assuming that they need to show festival tix to enter lovefields? If that’s not the case then this could work well.

Thanks. I’ll suggest that and hope that someone comes up with a few more ideas 🙂

I think both lovefields and ST have been rubbish at helping.

Wondering if anyone can make suggestions One of our group is coming from US, hired a motorhome and staying at lovefields. Problem is that they have to collect tickets from the office. Is there somewhere they can park up, so they can get the tickets? I assume then they’ll have to to drive a bit of distance away from the festival to be able to drive around to the east side? Any ideas welcome.

Well you’ll know from your experiences that I am you, and you are also me 😝 Sounds good. Yeah, unbelievably, the US do seem to be way more forward thinking around their drugs policies. Nice of them to force their prohibition on us all those decade ago! This country is pedalling backward it would seem. Have some friends who’ve participated in some of the trials and others that are working on them (oh, I think I already said this). 🍄🙌

Bless Auntie Beeb.

Zelensky, Attenborough, Lama, Beans…..

Shouldn’t this be ‘My Auntie didn’t get a ticket’?

I’d be very interested to hear about the post-grad. One of the many reasons I am training to be a counsellor is because I’ve got an interest in working with psychedelic therapy (should it ever come to fruition) or working with integration after expanded states of consciousness. I have friends working in that space, one of which is an amazing person, doctor and therapist, who’s working on the trials in London. Psychedelics have been extremely important for my health and growth. We have a small group that have become quite adept at sitting for one another.

Supping a warm lager next to my tent. Probably in it, ‘cause of the rain.

Ha. It’s really only the greens, and it’s not even all of them as there are clashes. And I’m fully prepared to miss the greens if that’s the way the cookie crumbles.

Saw them in Sheffield recently. 👌🏼

Glad you’re in a better headspace now. I think there’s no shame in bringing and discussing these topics. Everyone goes through it to some degree I’m staring to feel quite positive again and finally getting the full on excitement for next week. Will be in a hotel bar in Bristol one week from now. 😎

Catching the train to Bristol. Laden with crap.

If there were a lake or river that you could go for cold water swims that would be f**king amazing. Obviously one that was kept clean and safe.

I bought some shorts and a top that have a very slight, not huge, festival vibe to them. Going to feel like a Queen compared to your lot. 😊🤪 Apart from that it all fairly boring. I do have excellent waterproofs for if it all goes tits up.

Like this. My son’s school don’t allow boys to wear shorts, sonic I’ve told him he should go in a skirt and see how they react.

Also have EOTR booked, taking my son to that one (which lifts a bit of the guilt of not taking him to Glastonbury again), and Tramlines in Sheffield, which isn’t the best but I go with a couple of good friends every year. Great to read everyone’s honesty on here and sorry don’t have enough ‘likes’ to dole out. Had an amazing counselling training session this evening and it’s really lifted my mood, and I think I’m starting to feel giddy about next week. Can’t wait!!!

Thanks, both, for sharing. Absolutely agree that everything is constant change (hence the username). I’m almost certain my festival will be totally joyous experience and that what comes after will be experienced and dealt with then. But, as FrostyPaw alluded to, I think it will also remind me of the bigger picture. 100% agree on medications and definitely being mindful of any potential harmful interactions. I am not on them myself, though have been in years gone by. Certainly can be helpful, but the side-effects outweigh any benefits. I rely on far less frequent, but also far less legal, but far more effective, medication nowadays! Of course, I’m only speaking of my experience and what works for me and would never advise anyone to follow suit. The WhatsApp group is a great idea. I know many people go solo and I can imagine it’s a little lonely at times if you’re of an introverted nature. Feeling very grateful to have the opportunity to go again. Certainly going to imbibe every ounce of goodness emanating from the Glastonbury fields and its inhabitants.

I'm sure anyone that has been knows that magical force field that seems to contain Glastonbury and allows you to largely forget the outside world. I struggle to imagine feeling unhappy whilst on the farm. But, I am curious whether people have at a time when they've been struggling with their mental health and what impact being there has had? Maybe it has had a longer term positive impact? Or maybe a week of indulgence was, in retrospect, not such a good idea? Whilst you were there you felt totally free and that in itself was wonderful? Without going into great detail, have been struggling of late and, although I am feeling quite a bit better than I was weeks ago, I am still finding days a bit of a battle. Was hoping on the final leg toward the festival to be feeling much better. Anyway, my hope is to be there and forget all my problems, have fun galore, and not being waking up feeling like crap! (Except maybe in a hangover type way). Always like to encourage talk of MH (good to talk, blah blah, etc.), especially as one day I hope to make it my profession (training as a counsellor).
