NFR NFC 2017 - The friendly thread for lovely people

[noplacelikehome]

Hi all, what a bloody brilliant Glastonbury that was!  lovely to see lots of you (even if only for a short time) on Thursday, had to go and rescue my friend who had fallen asleep opposite astrolabe and then run round to WG for the Smyths.  Still on a complete high, weather was fantastic, music was great, spent loads of time in Theatre fields doing stuff we haven't done before, walked miles, smiled all the time, drank a LOT of cherry bakewell. Comedown hasn't begun yet, even having to be in work today hasn't taken the shine off. Can't wait to do it all again in 2019.  I love that farm so much   Thanks Michael and Emily (and @deebeedoobee and @pilton digger and slodge) for inviting us all to your village fete.

Thanks Cg. All good here now, I probably could have made it down for Saturday and Sunday but unfortunately it would have been a struggle to get in after Friday morning and with such a long journey down it would have been heartbreaking if I hadn't got in and had to drive back again. Already looking forward to 2019!

See you at KC!

Glad to hear that about improvements.

It was good to see peeps at the Wednesday meet when I finally got the and those at the NY Brass band too. Warm handshakes y'all.

I'm counting down the minutes till I can go to bed tonight. First day back at work today and plenty of coffee and others' blank looks at the bands I'd been to see. My colleagues aren't eFesters.

I need a new flag pole now, my upcycled fishing rod broke.

Hello! Sorry I didn't make the Thursday meet, I can't remember what I was doing now but I was doing something and missed it! Lovely to see some of you on the Wednesday though  

MJ, so sorry you didn't make it, hope all is ok xxx

[Quark]

Aye, good to finally meet some of you, but sadly not all! From @Curlygirl force feeding me cherry bakewell to @carlosj taking the piss out of my ears  I had a splendid time.

@mr gumby thank you for bringing the hedgerow port, it was bloody sublime. Last I saw of the mead was @Seldom Seen Kid dancing off into the distance with it

And I even got to ambush @guypjfreak as well

Hope everyone had a good fest!

Cherry Bakewell can also be a bad thing!! The confusion I felt haha

[djdavejohnson]

Morning! So everyone had a good one?

I feel like I can join in again a bit more now, it's difficult when you don't have a ticket! Watched a lot of the coverage, with some still left to watch - it looked fantastic

Now for a long two years until 2019!

Why did you have piss in your ears Quark?  Was lovely to meet you, @Tranquility of Solitude and @guypjfreak at last, and to see @H.M.V, @fatyeti24, @mr gumby and @Seldom Seen Kid again. Sorry to miss @carlosj and Curlygirl (sorry can't get it to highlight), in particular the cherry bakewell.

Hope everyone had a great time.  This year has been so much better than last year, despite 2 grumpy teens in tow who didn't want to do anything.  Given the much better ground conditions, what with being able to sit down and all, I'm a bit surprised every bit of me apart from my hair is hurting - still!

By the way HMV, did you have lit up flowers in your hair?  I thought you and Yeti might have been standing in front of me towards the right of the crowd at Father John Misty but I'm hopeless at recognising faces so didn't dare tap you (if it was you) on the shoulder!

Me neither now

Sorry didn't make the meet and I popped by the efests one briefly. Wasn't feeling great Wednesday, the walk and the queue in the heat didn't do any of our campsite any favours, so wondered off early to grab some food and weirdly, run through a fire engine hose! Next time - I'll gain more confidence and say hello to more people and say for longer!

[thurlow84]

Pleased to hear everyone seems to have had a good time, glad I could meet those who I met in my brief visit to the meet on Thursday

Thanks for the pint @stuartbert two hats

Really enjoyed most of it myself this year, with Saturday being the best day I've had at the festival to date

 

[Funkyfairy!]

Hi all

Lovely to meet those of you that I did on Wednesday. @Curlygirl I saw you again dressed up in your fine black outfit on Friday (?) just coming down through the campsite from the JP area - you looked amazing, but deep in conversation so didn;t want to disturb you

I was at NYBB on Thursday but couldn't see anyone :-(, had watched Mik Artistik and stayed for NYBB and ended up right near to the front during the tame 'mosh' and stood within the band when they played their last track in the crowd

I didn't know where you were going afterwards so wandered off :-(

Do we start praying to the R&*( gods now for 2019  or is it too early ?

hi Mark!

[fatyeti24]

anyway, as is tradition, we should probably be starting a new NFR thread soon.  

 

[jeffie]

Morning all.  

Was very nice to see some of you albeit briefly, that was a Glastonbury moment, when you all suddenly appeared.   Then you were gone, like superheroes.......

I see the fallow thread has started (unless LZ reform of course)..

[guypjfreak]

One sort of official meet 

And one kidnapping efestivals meet.. Thanks girls you know who you are.. Lol xx

Nice to meet who I met sorry for those I missed.. 

See you in 5 years.. Gxx
