I've been going since 2008, I had a ticket to the 1998 festival but due to circumstances (crappy ex) etc I ended up selling it. Then in 1999 I got ill with M.E so was out of action for a few years!

It wasn't until a friend suggested going in 2008 that I really thought about it again. I was better by then, working full time, and thought I'd manage. I mentioned it to my sister and a couple of friends, and four of us went. My sister and I decided we wanted to go every year!!!

Thanks for the suggestion, digger! I thought of trying a bit of Soundgarden or The Clash, but mrs. gumby is working from home, so it's a bit of a non-starter today. Managed to distract him with his brio train set now. Off for a walk to hopefully get him to sleep soon, and with any luck he'll wake up happier!

Tractor Ted! Watch Tractor Ted! It's lovely!

As you are allergic to children - why do you know about Tractor Ted........ who I had never heard of til just now.

Is one insinuating something Carol?

Despite friends going to the other side........ today has been a good day.

Wolf Alice tickets bought.

Invoices all done, and one customer paid their immediately!!! Every month I have targets for income, I have today beaten my May target!

Sorting the last bits in office and putting some orders together then the weekend is bare - hopefully we have visitors tomorrow.

Bluebells and pub pretty much describes the weekend.

Because my bestest friend lives in Finland, and when we went to stay with her and her lovely family, Tiny 2 was massively into tractors. It's very hypnotic!

I am in fact one of Tiny 1's Guardians, so am not quite so allergic to these two Small People

Said bestest friend and I found ourselves staring at the tv learning all about how potatoes are grown and harvested, thanks to Tractor Ted. Genius.

It's our year end and it is going remarkably well. I can't help but think I have forgotten something very important!!!

I always have that feeling too when stuff goes well.

Hope you have not forgotten anything.

Pleased for you................. will you see them twice I wonder?

Pleased for you................. will you see them twice I wonder?

I certainly wouldn't be complaining!

As I typed my reply "For Tomorrow" came on my ipod.

It's a sign!!!!

Child 1 (A levels in a few weeks) is now far too old, and we're far too uncool, for him to come on holiday with us anymore. So, we'll be off to Spain sans lui in July.

In compensation for my disappointment at this, he is kindly allowing me to purchase his tickets for Latitude and Bestival, the little dear, the first of which I just purchased. Well, after all, think of all the money I'm saving not taking him to Spain...

...I curse the day I got my children into music...

Whereabouts in Spain, Ben?

We're off to Spain in a few weeks, little town called Marin, near Pontevedra in the northwest. It's my father in law's 70th, but rather than have a party here, they've booked a villa for a week, and all their kids and grand kids are going too. Gumby jr's first time flying, so fingers crossed he's ok with it!

OK, I'd be lying if I said I was entirely certain where!

we're flying to Malaga, and staying in a village/town not far from Nerja, IIRC. Should be fun. Me, Mrs Ben, Children 1 and 2 and their Cousins 1 and 2, plus Cousins' mum (therefore Aunt, obvs) for the second week.

Nice

Not seen Tractor Ted, I'll keep an eye out for it. He's a bit obsessed with tractors (not surprising growing up in Somerset!), so that might be good. What channel is it on?

Sounds good!

Did your kids fly at a young age (gumby jr. is nearly 2 1/2)? If so, any tips for dealing with airports, or the flight itself?
