Thursday. when we are arriving, just updated to 'drizzle'. I am ecstatic.

Not looking good right now. Depressed.

here again 😞

TBH it has surprised me that a petition like this has been so long in coming, its well overdue.

Most useful bit of new camping kit I've bought is a sponge.

I've managed to get tickets every year except 2019 when I failed miserably. Friend of mine said to me, trying to be sympathetic: "Its a lottery, you can't expect to win every year".

Yes I'm in exactly the same position -- came back on Monday feeling slightly worse-than-usual after a festival, then on Tuesday felt decidedly unwell with temperature of 38.6 - lateral flow positive. My choice to have gone to Glasto and obvs was aware of the risks. Think I've got away with it lightly, feeling much better today, but don't want to spread it so taking precautions to reduce contact with people.

I remember it well ....

I miss getting back to your tent and finding a handwritten note from your tentmates that said "We're going to JazzWorld until 7, then Pyramid, meet you at Water Aid". And I sort of miss being able to park next to the tent, apart from when someone decided on Saturday that they wanted to drive out and that they could get past all the tents and guyropes. And I miss tickets going on sale in April and spending weeks persuading friends to come with and knowing that the tickets wouldn't sell out until maybe the week before. But mostly I miss the underground, alternative and rebellious spirit of the festival; it was something that you'd never in a million years tell anyone at work that you'd gone to. It was a coming-together of people from across the country who were kindred spirits. There was nothing mainstream about going to Glastonbury, your parents/teachers/colleagues would often strongly disapprove of it.

Shocked to discover that I created this account on eFestivals on April 12, 2003. Also, I noticed that once I became 50 I became invisible. Which used to quite annoy me but now feels quite good.

Yes, and was rather hoping that someone would try and defend their little private enclave 😉

People that tie bits of rope between tents, as a way of cordoning off 'their' area, are evil and selfish. It is important to try and walk through these cordons, especially at night. I don't have a problem with people reserving space for their friends' tents, but once their friends have arrived the bits of rope need to come down.

There used to be a stage in the Glade Area called 'Spirit of 71' that had all the old hippy bands.

Fantastic line-up, usually spend more time in the Glade than anywhere else. Hopefully this year they'll have some food in the area too. Tristan!!!!!!!!!!
