Forever in blue jeans June 27, 2007

Good morning Stuart,
Can’t wait to see more snaps of the festival and keep the home fires burning on that front. With reference to your questions (1) the feeling of when I got home was one of excitement to be re-united back with my wife and daughter who I had missed terribly over the weekend (thurs – Monday). My wife is expecting our second child in about a months time and since we were eighteen (14 years ago) we have only missed a couple since then. We got married there (2004), took Issy, our first child when she was 3 months (2005) and watched Beckham score that free-kick against Columbia on the main stage there. I stay with friends 15 minutes from the site so going back to a bed and a shower is a kop out but essential if you want to drink cider for 4 days. It only took me 40 mintues to get home from Pilton to Frome (next biggish town along where I live) but the short journey was seen as closure on yet another fantastic Glastonbury festival.
(2) I always see as much as festival as I possibly can, even with the mud. Loads of cracking stuff to feast on again this year. If I had to pick just the one then I suppose it would have to be Saturday night me and many of my slightly wobbley friends walking up to Lost Vagueness doing the nutty dance on our way to watching Madness, who were great in the little tent.
(3) By the time next years festival comes along we will become four of us. I can’t wait to take them all (as long as it’s not quite as bad as this year, rain/mud wise). As someone pretty local to the whole thing I love it, hope it keeps going and going forever and to answer your question YES we will be back next year and the year after and the…....................................................

ah stuart what a grand idea!
in answer to question one it took us roughly 5 hours to get just out of the carpark leaving glastonbury and as i’m sure you know some people didn’t move for 10
hours – however not even that could tarnish the spirit of glastonbury – that
ambience of subtle euphoria!! I’m now in an office wearing pointy shoes working
for the man (thankfully this is only temporary) and the sudden transition is
unsettling, i have not yet taken stock of the glasto experience, but i surely
need to – as a first time goer i’m amazed and glad to have finally been a part
of of it!
Needless to say of course i’d go again!
As for the seminal picture- i don’t know, although i had an ace time all dressed-up… the following days in normal garb i felt distinctly drab!
more fancydress!
more mud!
woop!
