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

Anyway, this year, during a late-night walk to find the children chocolate, I actually saw it in action - so grabbed a video, for posterity's sake. Watching it back, something grabbed me and made me laugh... #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

My advice, as someone who lives in #Somerset - look a bit further afield (you don't have to be far from Worthy!). Property here is cheap (it's all relative, I know...), but it is a truly delightful county in which to live and work.

I did do a drive-by video this morning as I passed the #Glastonbury site - which is ticking over nicely - but the camera decided to focus (understandably) on the crap on my windscreen. Wondering whether to post anyway, for a laugh... 🤔📽️

A new area - and a warning over gazebos - as folks start heading to #Glastonbury... The gazebos thing is absolutely right. Much as they handy to have, camping space can be a real nightmare for some folks, so they should not be allowed. Same with taping off areas. Not cool, sorry. 😟
