So I'm not going to Glastonbury and it's fine

A lot can be said for the smaller festivals. We had a great time at Green Gathering this year.

I was disappointed yesterday, but not as down about it as I thought I would be (and my wife had feared!). Possibly helped that expectations were low as we were a small group and got even smaller owing to others having a registration issue last minute.  Biggest blow was others I know that usually get every year, didn't and I was kind of hoping on them for the resale chances. But as someone else said, made me even more grateful for getting and going this year which was a pretty perfect line-up for me (noting that the line-up is only a part of it).

 

I am at a stage in life that I have been thinking about doing some volunteering of some description as a warm up to filling time when I retire (next 5 years possibly) so think it may be time to possibly do something at festivals. My wife who already gives a lot of time volunteering for Samaritans isn't interested in working a festival so it wouldn't be the same as going together as punters but I am happy to go down that route and this has given me a nudge!
