Summer Festival Blues
Its that time of year again when people don their flipflops/or wellies and head of for a weekend filled with friends, beer and live bands… but yet again that won’t be me!
The logistics and organisation needed to plan a much anticipated trip to a festival have yet again defeated me. Not only do you have to choose a festival that will suit everyone’s tastes which is a challenge in itself, getting a group of 6 girls to all agree and commit to a date any further than a week away is near enough impossible. If you are lucky enough to have a good response from said friends there then comes the issue of money! No-one can ever afford to pay for a ticket until May when everything is sold out.
So, here I am yet again suffering from my summer festival blues trying not to listen to all the line-up announcements or look at how much Ebay are selling tickets for.
Maybe next year I will manage to get organised in time to buy a ticket before they sell out….

I, like everyone else, have abandoned the dying Glastonbury and am off to Latitude for a spot of ’boutique camping’!

I’m saving myself for the monsterous Global Gathering Festival at the end of July… Surely by then we’ll have a glimmer of an English summer?

Global gathering is so 2006
Creamfields is the new black. 2 days and camping this year to celebrate the 10 year anniversary.
Oh, and the line-up’s not bad either:
