Finally back from Glastonbury

To all those concerned people out there, let me reassure you: we are all alive and the mud/rain/flooding has not beaten our spirits. This was, indeed, another amazing Glastonbury, packed with stunning music, ecstatic moments and tons of hippies.

Highlights included: the performances of Arcade Fire, Martha Wainwright (but also Rufus was amazing), the Go Team!, Chemical Brothers, Toumani Diabaté (who appeared alongside a fabulous Bjork), CSS, Mr Scruff, Shirley Bassett (apparently, I didn't actually get to see her, but Lady V wouldn't stop talking about her) and Beirut. I can't really remember the other acts I saw, so assume they were just mediocre. Or I was not in a perfectly sane state of mind. Either way, apparently I had a permanent grin on my face, a clear sign that I was having the time of my life. All this despite the trekking through mud under pouring rain in freezing temperatures for most of the time.

Here are some initial pictures taken by the lovely Pam. Most of them were taken early on during the festival - later I apparently started looking like Gollum (in Molly's words). I was clearly not offended by the remark. Mud has never looked that good even on the likes of Kate Moss.

More pictures soon as soon as PDF sorts his camera out!
