Long overdue posting on glastonbury – however, if you’ve been following my tweets, you did not miss anything!

Every year in the summer, the tiny village of Glastonbury is invaded by a band of no-gooders…or do-gooders depending on your defination. I took a sabbatical last year, with the thought of calf-lenght mud making me cringe. Funny how your memory of pain fades with time. Much to bacon’s chargin, I decided to be part of the mad crowd again this year. And instead of a four-day thing we’ve turned this into a five-day thing as well; with hopes that if we get there early enough we would find a better camping space.

After a four hour journey down to Somerset, we were stuck in traffic for about two hours heading towards ..in which we trailed a total of 10km. Coming out from the car park at last, it was another mile or two’s hike to the campgrounds. It was unbelievably hot, which is definately not Glastonbury like weather.WEIRD.

All camped up

The above was the view when we pitched up at about 4pm. By 4pm the next day, the whole place was completely and utterly packed up, tents popping up at places you didn’t think would fit a sleeping bag, let alone a tent. People were pitching up everywhere, even within spitting distance from non -flushable toilets. Eew I know.

The festival do not officially start until Friday, which gives us Thursday completely free to roam around without rhyme or reason. Nothing happens on thursdays, but shops ect are open. So I randomly walked around snapping pictures – the sun was up until about 9pm, and I just wanted to snap pictures before it starts pissing it down again.

A sand sculpture of the founder, Michael Eavis. How cool is that?

Oooo…Silent disco…I wanna I wanna I wanna – unfortunately Thursday night’s queues were 400m long!

Giant bog. Ring the bell and all your wishes would come true. I wish for a clean, flushable toilet made out of ceramic.

This was at the Healing Fields – the bald guy supposedly ‘lived’ in this hut built with £400. Love the roofs, made out of edible salads. Obviously no plumbing or electricity. But an edible roof?? Hot great is that??

Teepee saunas…bet they didn’t do roaring business due to the hot hot hot weather.

The faiths were all out in full force as well. Salvation Army, Hare Krishnans ect…all have a presence there providing help, support, counselling or just water and sunscreen on a hot sultry day.

These were from the Greenpeace field – can’t guess what these logos represents huh

This cafe makes me laugh

Rarrr bite me!

Coming up – Lady Gaga, Jason Mraz, Timo Mass, Deadmau5, Tom Jones, dancing next to toilets…
