My Glastonbury highlights
Now that I have recovered from the mud and mayhem of Glastonbury I can reflect on what was probably the wettest weekend of my life. I managed to catch some great bands but also missed quite a few - so many bands, so many stages - it would be impossible to see all of them. I skipped The Killers to see Iggy Pop but he was such a legend I think I made the right choice. Bat For Lashes in the John Peel tent was the most moving and the Artic Monkeys the most upbeat.
The Oxfam team were amazing to work with and it was so inspiring to hear we got over 45,000 signatures. Everyone from the stewards to the people on the sari mela stall worked with a smile on their face despite the atrocious weather conditions.
I enjoyed embracing the spirit of Glastonbury, dressing up and exploring the weird and the wonderful variety of arenas.
The thing I will remember most about my experience will undoubtedly be the MUD! However there was a brilliant camaraderie and amazing spirit from all who were there.
Would I go back? After washing all my mud-covered clothes, having a long hot soak in the bath, resting my weary legs (from incessant mud-trudging) and having a good nights kip, would I go again next year? Just try and stop me!
