NFR NFC - to tide you over the fallow year

NFR heading to the fest...

 

I'm sure they pass the same mountain twice even before it repeats!

I've finally escaped from the Royston Vasey of the weather thread.  It looks as if the major w*t stuff will hit us here at the wrong end of the A361 just as we're packing the caravan.  Sacrifices will be made.

We aim to be in cv east tomorrow evening (maybe bump into @fatyeti24, @H.M.V and @carlosj if I can find you?) and I plan to come to the meet on Wednesday for the first time.  Bit scared as I have trouble recognising people at the best of times... at least I should be able to spot you @Tranquility of Solitude wearing Shaun the Sheep(!)  I owe you and @deebeedoobee a pint for scoring our cv tickets.

@Seldom Seen Kid I'm glad you've decided to go. Let the farm do its healing thing.  @Funkyfairy! I hope I can find you to ask about the bin painting - something I'd love to do once I'm free to take the time out of work. @lucyginger good luck with first-time stewarding.  I hope you get somewhere in the shade ?

@vintagelaureate fingers crossed you're heading for Somerset on Wednesday.

To all (and everyone I've failed to mention) safe journey and have a fabulous party.  Even more precious this year as we came so close to missing out.  As I've said before: what a joy and an utter privilege

See you at the meet. There is usually a few efestivals t shirts around. I think Pilton Digger will wear his.

Excellent thanks Q, I need all the help I can get! Is that you or Dave Grohl modelling your tee?

If you have glitter, are you able to join us?

Edit:

Wahay! Just got this photo of the cider my mate's bringing from abroad (aka Dorset) just need to get food now tomorrow night and pack the piles.

 

You have piles?  Do you need cream bringing?

We've made landfall in Somerset. Just completed a trip to the big shop in Shepton for last minute supplies. We're camped behind a pub with a lovely beer garden, so it'd be rude not to sample the local cuisine. 

A short drive in the morning and we're there!

Sounds good sir, glad to hear the jalopy made it down there in one piece

Looking forward to a beer on Wed

 I've been dreading the drive for months so I'm delighted we made it down without incident. 

Wednesday shall be great fun

[pilton digger]

Happy Monday everybody. Now that the weather science types have been shown to be full of shite, prepare for the worlds best party with added sun.  One more day at work for me, pub tommorrow night for the usual Pilton starter session, and then see everybody in the fields.

I'm trying to think of pubs in Shepton with a lovely beer garden.

Diggers right. Sadly the food didn't match the surroundings. We'll not stay for breakfast. 

Apart from that, no complaints.  The small campsite is even half full but everyone is going to the festival and there's a couple of other efesters here too. 

A short trip up the road in the morning to join the queue and then it's feet up time. 

[fatyeti24]

Looking towards the site. I reckon it's going going to be a good one.

Thanks Carlos. If we get through the huge-family-row-while-assembling-the-awning ritual in time I'll come find you!

[noplacelikehome]

Jealous of @fatyeti24 and @H.M.V for being so close, @lucyginger and @Funkyfairy! for already being there, and ALWAYS  jealous of @deebeedoobee and @pilton digger for having this as their village fete. One more day of work then setting off wed am hope to see you all at the meet, but if I miss any of you lovely people thanks for getting me through the fallow, love you all and have a fabulous festival xx

[Tranquility of Solitude]

I am off to bed now, and tomorrow, I shall be going to Glastonbury. That is all.

So happy.

[Seldom Seen Kid]

After a ropey build up I'm pleased to say the excitement has finally got me.  Not sure if it's because my flat currently resembles a rummage sale, or the pile of drinks on top of the washing machine, but this time tomorrow I'll be on the road.  Cannot wait!!

[Quark]

Got to pretend to be productive today. Chances aren't great.
