Wednesday we arrived on the coach where spirits are high and the drinking began. Queued up at the gate with our luggage dragging through the mud. Through the gate we pitched up and walked to see the festivities. Compared to Leeds festival, the Glastonbury site is huge!
Thursday we did the same and looked around some more taking in the sights. People in crazy outfits and crazy personalities. It dawned on my boyfriend and I that the whole attitude and vibe at Glastonbury is totally different to Leeds festival. Everyone is friendly and all about the peace, love and music. If someone bumps into you, they apologise and vice versa. You can talk to anyone and have a laugh with them. No queue pushing and just general politeness all around. All the drunks were harmless and didn't feel threatened at all.
Friday and Saturday the music was incredible! We saw a bit of Wu Tang Clan, BB King, saw Darwin Deez who were amazing, Biffy Clyro and Mumford & Sons. Saturday we saw Gaslight Anthem, Paolo Nutini, Battles and Coldplay.
Unfortunately, we had to leave on Sunday morning as my boyfriend was attending his grandma's funeral on Monday.
We both said it was the best and worst festival we have been to. The worst because of the mud and constant battle walking through it, the rain all day Friday, a leaky tent where we had to but a new one at the festival, my wellies snapping because of the strength of the stickiness of the mud, the bad news of the passing away of my boyfriend's gran, losing my job, stitches bothering me in my hand etc etc BUT... it was the best festival because of the things on offer there, the amount of good music, the friendly nature of everyone and the sun coming out all day Saturday.
