I live close enough that in years when it's got too wet and muddy, I've just sodded off home and slept in my own bed
feels like cheating, but then you wake up warm and dry, stick the same muddy clothes on, and you're back on site in less than an hour
In 2007 my daughter was born, on the Thursday night before the festival started, so I left my missus in the hospital all weekend and went on my own - still have her unused ticket at home.
Starting to see the hippy vans, buses and convoys rolling through round my way now.... man, I f***ing love glastonbury
