glastonbury festival 2010

wooh... what 5 days and nights of total carnage that was!

for those of you not too familiar with glastonbury festival, it is an AMAZING music festival that takes place on a huge farm in somerset (england) at the end of each june (apart from when they have a year off).....and this year it was the festivals 40TH BIRTHDAY! YAY!
but it is a festival of SO MUCH MORE than just music and i'm pretty sure that nothing else compares to glastonbury in the whole wide world. it is simply amazing and unique and i love it. i mean, where else can you experience such extremes of meditating and sipping chai tea in the healing fields.... to entering another world through a wardrobe where you get to dress up and have huge pillow fights with complete strangers.... and then seeing gyrating pole dancing robots?!
i had so much fun... but i have to admit i did peak, crash and burn a little too early!! (i think it may have been the 7.5% pear cider?!).
and i think i may be getting a little too old for sleeping in a tent for 5 nights on a hard field and waking up feeling like i need a hip replacement. but seriously, getting bruised and battered and not washing for 5 days is all part of the experience! (and anyway, who needs showers when you can just baby wipe?! ha). and we just won't talk about the toilets....

i took over 400 pictures!!!!! but here is just a selection of some random/cool/great things i snapped around the festival....
(see, i wasn't lying!)
sorry about all the pictures.... but i wanted to put on sooooo many more! hopefully its given you a bit of a feel for the festival..... bring on next year!!!
