All this talk of rum. Just left Booths with gingerbeer, limes and a bottle of Appleton estate and a bottle of Rumbullion. I'm holding you all responsible for my hangover tomorrow. There was no Goslings. 

Life choices :D

Good morning lovelies! I'm sorry, I had to take a day off here yesterday while I was wallowing in self pity and if I'm honest being quite, (very) pissed off at myself for making such a basic schoolboy mistake in forgetting to put my postcode up on Sunday morning. I've been doing this long enough that I really should know better! The thought that I could have had my ticket sorted was making me a bit down. I also had a long flight to catch yesterday evening which put me out of action for the rest of the day and night as I sat there getting twatted on complimentary wine!:(

First of all, I'd like to thank you all so much for the messages of support I have received since Sunday morning, special mentions to @H.M.V, @noplacelikehome, @Funkyfairy!, (you're right, we had a lovely chat late on at the efests meet last year when I was feeling a little unsure of myself in my first solo year)! @Quark, @Curlygirl@Yoghurt on a Stick, @dizzymoo, @naughtygeorgie, @vintagelaureate I've probably missed a few off there which I apologise for but you all know who you are and it is hugely appreciated.:wub:  I'll be messaging you all with my full details (including postcode) in the hope that I can still make it to the party!

For those that don't know me, I work away from the UK for long periods at a time and I had to fly out to work on Sunday. This will mean I'm away for the next 8 weeks, only due to return on the 21st June. I still fully intend coming to Glastonbury if I can get a ticket and I'm sorry for pleading but that's where you all come in. Sadly my wifi isn't brilliant on our boat and coupled with the fact I have no phone signal and may very well be on night shift for the next 56 days, I may not be able to do much myself with regards to any 'secret' resales that will occur in the coming weeks. As above I will be sending messages to all those that have offered help but if anybody else would like to get behind Team Shaun then feel free to send me a pm and I'll let you have my details.

Thank you all again. Much love,

Shaun.

Put me down for assistance on the secret sales too mate.

I've never been to a Booths. I want to more than anyone should want to go to a supermarket.

You need to take your Coutts card with you though.

A little more info, in case it tickles your fancy:

"Beside Knob Throwing there will be additional fun knob attractions including Knob Eating, Knob Painting, a Knob & Spoon Race, Guess the weight of the Big Knob, Knob Darts and a Knob Pyramid."

Sounds like a bit of an obsession!

Just put the washing out.

Bring it on, weather.

Now to trace the wires in the van to see why things aren't working :-(

Hope you find the problem Carlos. At least you have plenty of time to sort it out. We didn't realise the front windows were falling out of our caravan until 3 days before the festival in 2013. Gaffer tape is a wonderful thing! 

I find it very sad that these days my automatic thought if there's decent weather in the morning is 'oh good I can get some washing done'.  However today is bluebell Sunday,  so we'll be going for a stroll in the local woods followed by a cream tea, sans debate about jam/cream first as my OH (weirdo) doesn't like cream. So I get to eat his ;-)

Morning Nfr lovely people, all this talk of rum mmmmm . Beautiful day here yesterday , had a curry in a cabana the beach and watched live music in a pub - perfect. Now today we have a local festival ... All local bands, a main stage and a songwriters stage , a dance tent, silent disco etc, only small , but should be a good day... Only £15 a ticket. Trouble is it's absolutely heaping it down, serious wet stuff and not due to stop until 10pm, which is when the last band finishes.  Plenty of people will bin off the day, and not turn up, which is such a shame for the organisers 

ive got my wellies, raincoat and hat ready and I'm taking one for the team .... First outdoor event of the 'summer' and this is not good :-(

Gin is the big drink at the moment round my way, I will be sticking to my dark rum though!

Chatting with the barman on Friday night we both reckon that rum and tequila are the next ones. Rum is already getting there, and with tequila more people are picking up on the different types available and getting past the idea of Jose, lime and salt.

Hope it's not too bad FF, at least your prepared. And you obviously have our gratitude for taking the hit :)

Right. I have a grapevine to tie up and some sweet peas to plant out...

Morning all! 

Talking of rum, I have an apple spiced version on the go for Glasto. Seems to be doing ok although the apples have all turned brown, is that bad??

I will let you guys be the judge at the NFR meet on the Thursday :)

Had a lovely lay in for a change and just about to get up and take the pooch out for a walk. It's tempting to stay in bed all day, my comfort levels are off the scale right now, but I have a pair of very soulful puppy dog eyes watching my every move right now, willing me to get up!

Hope everyone has a marvellous day!
