Day 275.

© Ruth Johnston 2010.

This is what 9-11 in the morning looked like today, but I have my Glastonbury ticket for next year. I'm so happy, randomly I got through first and just got everyone's ticket. Long's registration number nearly didn't work (again) but for some reason his number from last year worked. Hopefully we won't need to worry about where it gets delivered too because the old number is assigned to his old Uni address. I'm so happy and excited, let's just hope the weather is as great. It's hard to imagine that it will ever be sunny again with the way the weather is at the moment.

Day 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177.

GLASTONBURY!
First day at the top, most recent at the bottom - which I realise is a different order to how the blog usually goes.
You don't know how far away the cars are from the festival until you get there not to mention that you can't even see the festival on the way in.

This is the 'Hollywood sign', forgot that I walked around at night on this day because the rest of the festival was so knackering but, I did get to see Shangri-La on my last night.

One of these also read that they provided, "No bullshit, the best chocolate milkshake on site", can you guess what it is yet? Toilets weren't too bad until Sunday, I guess thanks to these guys. I saw Mumford and Sons this day, who not only put on a great performance but also seemed really touched by the reaction of the crowd, made me so pleased for them.

After saying that we'd make the important trip to Shangri-La and Arcadia, we decided we should just go back to the tent and make a fire and have marshmallows instead. Moon was so sulky that he didn't get to do the fire that he fell asleep, I'm guessing he was probably exhausted too but I'm sticking with sulky.

Usually, as the higher bands on the bill performed, people climbed the 'Star of David' to get a better view, we saw one guy cut his leg all the way up, this is for Faithless, who were alright but not as amazing as Stevie Wonder, who followed.

Saw this little guy as we were leaving the festival, it took us around 8-9 hours to get home from campsite to the door. I love this photo and I love that nothing of mine was nicked or broken, I did lose my hairbrush though.

What a blast that was. I can't even describe how huge, how amazing and how surreal it is, and don't even get me started on the walking, the suntan and the dust. Know what you're getting yourself in for and bring a trolley.

Day 170.

Today Moon helped me finish packing up my Glastonbury stuff, as I was having a mini-mental-breakdown over it, and we had a 'trial-run' of the new tent, it is so huge and roomy, I can't wait for it to be my home for 5ish days. I also had a mega play with my 35mm lens, which I haven't really done properly yet, and I took some nice photographs of my cat and other things in the garden. Hopefully I will get the opportunity to do a final post tomorrow before I head off to my first huge festival, with mud and danger.

Glastonbury is a few days away, I have come down to my Grans' to brace myself.

Day 125.

I've been thinking a bit about Glastonbury today. I would like a really huge tent, I think.
I think I've been a bit smug today, I should stop that and do what is left.
