Greetings from Glastonbury!!!!!!
Spent the night in Glastonbury town, just got the bus to the festival site and am waiting in the queue at the gates right now. Think we will pitch our tent near the Green Fields and then go and grab some food. Can you see the weather? Isn’t it great?! Think it’s going to be a good one this year. I can tell!
Did I fool you?
Nah, didn’t manage to fool myself either. Damn it.
Sunrise was at 4:37 yesterday, got up about 3:30 (turned out to be about 1 ½ hours sleep. Why did I bother?) so I could see the whole thing, watched the sky turn blue and then Littleone fell out of bed at precisely 4:35 and I spent the next 15 minutes comforting her. So I kind of saw it but as I say Arbury is not exactly Stonehenge or Glastonbury Tor. Can’t help thinking that Mr. PE had the right idea in deciding to stay in bed. Especially as I only got a bit of writing done but not as much as I hoped, I was too tired and every time I sat down at the computer I nearly dozed off. I also had terrible hayfever (does anyone else get it worse when they are tired?) and could hardly see.
Picnic was nice, we waited until tea time and sat at the Mill Pond just the other side of the Granta. We tucked into homemade bread and hummous, veggie sausage rolls and summer fruit shortcake (stay tuned for recipes) all washed down with elderflower cordial. Oh and we fed some gorgeous goslings and cygnets I went particularly broody over them, I’ve decided I don’t want babies anymore, I want goslings. (Photos to follow too)
We stopped off at the Fort St George and met up with some friends for a swift half before coming home and falling asleep on the sofa.
Oh and as for my anniversary present. I got this and this. Don’t I just get the best pressies?!
