I've been writing about #Glastonbury for *coughs* 20 years. I even wrote a book about it. I've also written about Reading and others since 1995. Can talk about #festivals forever...

So, I've edited it here, first with the full video, then to highlight what cracked me up so much, but which I was completely unaware of at the time! I do hope this person had a lovely #Glastonbury! #Glastonbury2025 #GlastonburyFestival

Some followers might remember that I have something of a love affair with the Lonely Hearts Club stage - not the music, so much, but the look of the thing. It's beautiful. I tend to grab a picture of it each year. Here it is at #Glastonbury 2022, for example... I love it.

Relive your arrival at #Glastonbury... Should you wish. I was passing on the way to work this morning. 🤷‍♂️ #Glastonbury2025 #GlastonburyFestival (Apologies the video doesn't fit... Watch it on Insta or FB instead!)

Probably my favourite photograph from #Glastonbury2025 is this one. I feel like it could have been taken at any time between 1970 and now, I don't know why. #Glastonbury #Glasto #GlastonburyFestival

An interesting contrast of what #Glastonbury stands for - in my view - and the changing framework in which it operates... #GlastonburyFestival #Glastonbury2025

Well, I bet that Pyramid show looked AMAZING at the front, or on telly, and it was great - but with no PA, it was sssshhhhhhh! Well worth doing though, as an opening!

A chimp and a model at #Glastonbury 2010. The hottest year I can remember, apart from 2023 maybe? God knows. It was hot, anyway. #Glasto #Glastonbury2025

I do love a walk up to @joestrummerfund Strummerville on a Wednesday night. This view makes the climb well worth it. 😍 This was at #Glastonbury 2023. #Glasto #Glastonbury2025 #GlastonburyFestival

I swear I heard a collective groan this morning, as millions across the country checked their email, only to find they *didn't* win the Euromillions jackpot last night... Never mind, #Glastonbury next week. It's own lottery win, in a way... This is me, supping my winnings in 2010.

One week to go then folks... One week before we dance, as this little one did at #Glastonbury 2017, with her own backing band! Only at #Glasto. #Glastonbury2025 #GlastonburyFestival

This, I believe, was during Crowded House at #Glastonbury 2008. I rather like the fact the stage is not in focus, rather some unknown fan, probably singing along to Distant Sun or somesuch. Good times. Great set. #GlastonburyFestival #Glasto #Glastonbury2025

Just me (on the left), chillin' at t'Other Stage before it got EVEN BIGGER! This was at #Glastonbury 2010, before it got really, really, stupidly hot! I wonder who the other folks are? Hope they're well. 🙂 #Glasto #Glastonbury2025 #GlastonburyFestival

I have this pic, from inside the JP/Woodies area is it is now, but it's looking out, towards the area I *think* the original photo was taken from (a bit to the left, as this photo looks)... This is all getting too confusing now, sorry! 😆

Now, this one confuses me a bit, trying to place it. I believe it's the old John Peel, looking away, obviously - but is that right? This was #Glastonbury 2008, so going back a bit! #Glasto #Glastonbury2025 #GlastonburyFestival

The #Glastonbury protest wall from 2010. It's kind of in the same place now, though I don't really remember seeing it last year? I don't know, perhaps I did (I get confused with age)... Anyway, it was always an important distraction! #Glasto #Glastonbury2025 #GlastonburyFestival

Probably the most boring site photos ever today, I'm afraid, from a very wet drive to work, but thought I'd post anyway..! It's really busy up there now, a proper working site. I'll try and do some more interestng pics, I promise! 🙃 #Glastonbury #Glasto #Glastonbury2025 #GlastonburyFestival

The walkway beckons... Just a couple of weeks to go. Keep going, it's worth it, just like those hot walks to find somewhere to call home for five days! 😆 This was at #Glastonbury 2019. #Glasto #Glastonbury2025 #GlastonburyFestival

Ah, memories. This spot has changed quite a lot since this was taken - at #Glastonbury 2014. It was a Joe Rush show space that year, before the T&C tower and now The Atchin Tan, I believe, is round there? #Glasto #GlastoFest #Glastonbury2025

Weather's been a bit like this (at #Glastonbury 2016) in #Somerset recently - warm, bright spells, but with some decent showers, just not enough to create a mud bath. It's actually pretty good festival weather; not too hot, but not knee-deep clay! So long as it doesn't deteriorate, as in 2016...

A bit of an aside, but Gazette's MP - @sarahdykeld.bsky.social - was out an event last month alongside a #Glastonbury legend... Thought I'd share it enjoying a bit of time at home before it hits the road to Worthy! 😀 Second pic is of Ms Dyke with the Temperley family, of Burrow Hill.

Snapping the Pyramid as I make my way back late on a Wednesday or Thursday night has become something of a tradition, as it seems it's when they do a few production run-throughs. I like the contrast of the HUGE production values against a few folks just being... This is #Glastonbury 2024.

Another weird, blurry one that I rather like. As I remember, it's from the packed crowd for Stevie Wonder at #Glastonbury 2010. A great set, but my oh my, it was busy! #Glasto #Glastonbury2025 #GlastoFest

Browsing this morning and it struck me how these two are from a pretty similar place... One is May 2020. The other, at #Glastonbury 2024. How times change. 😯 #Glasto #Glastonbury2025
