Just shared a few photos from 2017 I've found with the newbies coming this year in our whatsapp group. 

 

 

Must have been many conversations around that amazing table of @Sawdusty surfer and my brother helped with that pond installation 🙂

I honestly found myself at this table more than once and have no recollection of where it was. 

 

The pond is gorgeous, that whole set up is beautiful and such a nice temporary reprice from the insanity I was putting myself through ( drugs, and excitement and just glastonbury)

I don’t, so I do a review just after the festival most years.

 

Anyway if you do remember specific years you’re not doing it right

Ah yesss I do remember. 

If he did have the unfortunate time of chatting to me I feel sorry for him I was on another planet, literally spangled for 21 hours of being awake a day.

 

I'm looking forward to next year's interactions, as I should remember the large majority

I do a diary in my Phone on the way home while it’s all still relatively fresh in the memory. It’s amazing looking back even just a few weeks later to see how much detail I’ve forgotten.

not being blackout drunk for 5 days helps. Could prob re trace the whole thing if you put me in the empty fields right now just from memory.

Nothing to do with being blackout drunk for me but when you've done many glasto's and especially several in a row, it's difficult to place order of events and what happened when... not that the memories aren't there, more how to access and sequence them. 

 

And on the second point, the empty fields are very different to the festival fields.  I don't think there's many people who could do that with any level of accuracy!

I actually can recall every single festival since my first in 2005, never missed one since. From arriving and to where we pitched when we camped, and latterly where we were in the campervan fields from 2009 onwards. I can also remember my favourite sets each year and even which friends were there. My husband on the other hand can't remember much at all!

I tend to remember each year based on a standout act I saw or the headliners, but I admit, it's all becoming a bit blurred now.

I'm not a big drinker, to be honest, and I remember most of what happens. I just couldn't put it all on a timeline. My brain's probably broken.

[philipsteak]

Yeah, I stopped drinking in 2005, have the occasional one now and then but you could probably count my annual total drinks on both hands.

I really struggle to remember which year was which for stuff. Like @CharlotteB says, I might remember a stand out act or huge name, but even that's not guaranteed. I also struggle to remember where I've seen acts, as in which festival. I don't do loads of others, usually one or two non-Glasto ones a year and I'll know I've seen an act but often can't remember where. Or it's a real effort and a real 'A-ha!@ moment when I get it.
