Getting emotional

[Lucy92]

Is anyone else getting a bit emotional at the thought of finally being back on the farm? I’ve had a pretty tough time since last Glastonbury and the fact it’s nearly here is just the most overwhelming (in a good way) feeling in the world. I know you’d all understand, not sure how I’m actually going to cope once I’m there, I may cry with happiness ha! 

[Avalon_Fields]

Yes!

And getting very impatient for it all to start, this week is going to go real slow.

If any work ends up getting done between now and next Wednesday it’ll be a miracle

My excitement has really come late, I usually can’t stop talking about it from March - but boy has it arrived now!! The house is a tip!! full of boxes of booze and random toiletries.

Eekkkk!! Can’t cope

Yep it’s been a long and for me personally pretty horrible time since the last festival. Just recently after years of feeling like I only heard from people when they had awful news to tell me I’ve had some happy news and I am hopeful that this festival can draw a line under all the bad times and be the start of a much happier time.

I'm off camping mon-fri so getting a mini taste of glasto up in the brecon beacons which should make the time fly! it definitely feels very slow right now - i cannot wait!

I truly hope so! I’m going to write something to burn on the lotus on the Sunday I think. Should feel like the bad years just burn away and draw a line under it all.

Emotional? I’m a blubbering wreck already! 😭

As you say, the past 3 years have been one hell of a rollercoaster. Just to be walking through those gates, no words can come close. ❤️

Yep new beginnings or old restarts! Either way all the good stuff. I suspect there will be tears at some point. Going to see Macca and I was introduced to the Beatles by my brothers one of whom got terminal cancer and died during the strictest phase of lockdown and I never got to say goodbye or go to his funeral so even if Macca’s voice is past it’s best it will be an emotional one for me.

Sounds like we’ve had a similar rough time. I lost my dad to cancer in feb. There’s a few bands playing who were his favourite so I can’t wait to see them for him.

Quite

Many a tear will be shed this year - Sunday nights lotus flower bonfire will be something else

[Jay Pee]

Yes to all of the above and I was at the farm last year working worthy pastures. It'd been a slow burn but finally I'm thinking, it's on!

This time next week I will be booking my taxi to the train station

[Crazyfool01]

I had a friend give me a little bit of a video tour of site today and I just found myself grinning as he climbed the hill toward the Glastonbury sign position … and then spun round … heaven forbid what it’s gonna be like when I get there

Hope you have a wonderful festival and that you can singalong in his honour at the festival!

After all this build up a little apprehensive which is weird mixed with the excitement from for the last few years.

Following on from all the panic in the Weather thread over the past few days…

 

It’s not the rain we need to worry about causing mud this year, but the tears of a quarter of a million people.

Three years apart, three years too long. 

Millions of lives needlessly lost; through war, pandemic, just having had enough. 

Now back together, a joy to behold. We’re here, we made it, we’re the lucky ones. 

A burning lotus, a chance to let go. To say goodbye, to bid farewell, to scream fuck you. 

Relief, it’s gone, it’s past, it’s over. 

Now look to the future with hope and belief. 

It’s not the rain we need to worry about causing mud this year, but the tears of a quarter of a million people.

This will be my first time, I'm so giddy for it. My partner has never done a festival and she's extremely nervous. Really hoping (and relatively confident) we will have the time of our lives and she will wonder why she was ever nervous!

Was welling up watching some glasto videos the other day! 

Certainly going to be an emotional one with a few  tears no doubt 

One of my best friends and long time glasto camping buddy sadly passed away during lockdown so won't be with us this year. A trip to the lotus burning thing could be a good memorial for him

Was watching the Muse/The Edge video which  set me off as two of his favourites

Things have been up and down since 2019 but looking forward to catching up with old friends again on the farm and putting the world to rights!

This is me! I'm struggling to focus on work right now and constantly getting distracted. I'm officially diagnosed with Glastonbury syndrome and the only medicine is the festival itself and then it kicks in again until T-day.

[bennyboi]

I can feel it. 
I though I was getting old, not getting as excited for 17 & 19.

But this year! after all the bs I need that recharge that gives me perspective on life, I’ve been missing it. 
I can see myself getting choked up at some point. 

[Curlygirl]

I cry happy tears at every festival I go to, and I've been to a few this year already. But honestly, I think as soon as I walk through those gates, I am going to be a blubbering wreck, with snot bubbles too 🤣 

It's my last night shift tonight, then I have all of next week to buy and pack ready to head to the farm on Sunday. It's Mr CG's first time and I cannot wait to see his face as he 'gets it!'

I don't know of the lotus flower bonfire... Where is it please? And what time? It sounds special. 

[dogeggs]

I’ve zero idea how I’m going to react when I first see the site in the flesh. A lot of feels will be felt.
 

It’s going to be glorious.

Midnight on Sunday in the park 👍

I did at one point wonder if it would ever happen again, so I’m fairly sure I’ll be all over the place when I get there. I’m treating it like the last festival I may ever attend.
