Before the horrors of the torrential rain and endless mud filled cesspit toilets made me lose the plot completely, I spent Thursday evening having quite a nice stroll around the festival site. It takes more than 1.5 hours from one end to the other, and still retaining my sense of humor, I went around the arena in what would be my first and last time.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is why people flock to Glastonbury year after year for the past 37 years, even with the mud

The Cider Bus of Burrow Hill Cider . Famed for their home made cider,you can taste the oak barrels that it’s been kept in to frement. DELICIOUS. They even serve it hot, mixed in with apples

For those not familiar with cider, it’s a lovely alternative to beer and quite unlike the apple cider viniger that most of us girls are used to (apparently helps weight loss). It is basically a fizzy alcoholic apple juice. Though the one from burrow hill are not gassy.Yum again!

Prawn Gumbo served with rice and beans, and think that is a griddle cake.Yummers. Was served on the plates that my mom uses.

Noah’s Ark!!! Inside were information on climate change and save-the-world propaganda. Glastonbury is a very save-the-world festival – in between acts, representatives would come out and bitch about, and I quote, “one man axis of evil who lives in the White House”. Poppy fucking cock.Hate it when people are judgementally trying to brainwash the general population

At the healing fields; stonehenge portaloos. Someone has a sense of humor. FYI, Glastonbury is held in conjunction with the Summer Solstice (longest day of the year), where druids and humans alike gather at the famed Stonehenge to get in touch with Mother Nature.

Ps: Apparently The Healing Fields were the place the get stocked up on all paraphenelia to ‘get high’

Chilling at the Healing Fields. You can still see patches of grass

The Chapel of Lost Vageuness.

Geddit?

Las Vegas?

They conduct wedding blessings here and anyone can get married at the Chapel of Love and Lust.Registration took place on Friday at noon – by that time I was sitting down listening to The Cribs holding an umbrella. Never got back to Lost Vagueness. Shame on me.

[...] No, not Western India. More like Jamaican, Bahamian and the likes. The soul food of Bob Marley. I had tentatively heard of the existence of such food, but had not come across it before. So I was pleasantly suprised when I discovered it nearly two years ago at the V Festival, then again at the Notting Hill Carnival and then Glastonbury [...]
