This year was my first glasto in 7 years (Did 6 on the trott from 2010). 2017 was a ticket fail but the others were all a conscious decision not to try, for one reason or another. When we decided to try again for tickets this year, I was apprehensive about what it would be like (new partner, would he like it, has it changed, will it be too busy....etc)
I could not stop smiling the whole 5 days and kept having waves of gratitude and appreciation for how lucky I was to be able to return. I still feel that now and say it out loud often when I'm on my own. We will try for tickets again in the autumn but if we are unsuccessful (although disappointed) I'll still be grateful for the having the chance to return to those fields and am confident I'll get the chance again and it'll be awesome when we do. The break made me really appreciate how lucky we are to experience it.
