Usually, at this time of year I have never paid much attention to the festivals that arrive every year - other than the occasional thought, that 'I really should attend one at some point in my life'. And my thoughts never go any further than there!
However! This year I find myself in a completely different mind set. Having done a little research on the Glastonbury website (yes secretly looking to see if I can spot my fella in any of the pictures that they have posted - not yet) I have found myself getting excited and seriously considering the possibility of attending on.
But what about the mud, you ask. Well I have giving this some thought and over the years through work I have found myself, kayaking, raft building, 44mile walk over two days, caving, weaselling (pretty much just squeezing yourself through tiny spaces in rocks - yes I did get stuck) I think I can handle some mud, well a lot of mud.
I have come to understand that it has kind of become some 'right of passage' - of a fashion. Whether it be Glastonbury, V Festival, Benicassim and the hundreds more that there is. I am beginning to think that it is only a matter of time before the festivals as we know them will no longer be the same. Having read reports about the amount of arrests - mainly due to illegal substances and the tents that have been erected to test any suspect substances - things will change.
So all in all - I have come to the conclusion, that I am missing out! [Well if I attend at least one - I don't have to do another one - if the mud and lack of facilities are too much for me] That I am nearly 25 and I have been to very few concerts and no festivals, things need to change!
I have already ready taken some very important planning steps! I have done some research into to the much sort after Festival Fashion :)
Next year!!!
Oh and I am missing my fella - jealous of him being there - smiling as it ridiculously muddy but missing him!
