I've been writing about #Glastonbury for *coughs* 20 years. I even wrote a book about it. I've also written about Reading and others since 1995. Can talk about #festivals forever...
Some followers might remember that I have something of a love affair with the Lonely Hearts Club stage - not the music, so much, but the look of the thing. It's beautiful.
I tend to grab a picture of it each year.
Here it is at #Glastonbury 2022, for example... I love it.

Probably my favourite photograph from #Glastonbury2025 is this one.
I feel like it could have been taken at any time between 1970 and now, I don't know why.

Everyone has that moment, either driving to #Glastonbury or while on site, where they think - 'I could live here'...

I did do a drive-by video this morning as I passed the #Glastonbury site - which is ticking over nicely - but the camera decided to focus (understandably) on the crap on my windscreen.
Wondering whether to post anyway, for a laugh... 🤔📽️

A new area - and a warning over gazebos - as folks start heading to #Glastonbury...
The gazebos thing is absolutely right. Much as they handy to have, camping space can be a real nightmare for some folks, so they should not be allowed. Same with taping off areas. Not cool, sorry. 😟
