What a flipping scorcher! Glastonbury was hotter than Athens this weekend and we're back looking more tanned than we do after a month in India.
Highlights of the weekend? Hmmmm..... other than downing chilled Pinot Grigio Blush with our breakfast and large-ing it for 16 hours a day? It has to be..................
spending time with old friends, Stu and Kim...
....and Jon........................
...and making new ones (Donna and Dave from Bath).
Spotting the God-like Michael Eavis doing his rounds....
Watching the World Cup with 69,999 others.
Raving to Faithless as they blasted out Insomnia as the sun set over Glastonbury Tor
Wearing maxidresses, sunhats and neon pink lippie..............
..................and going topless with a hastily constructed turban.
Catching quirky musical acts and performance poetry....
basking in the Somerset sunshine....
.....sharing the chilled, loved-up vibe.
Muse's awesome performance and surprise appearances from (amongst others) Mark E Smith, U2's The Edge, Lou Reid, Shaun Ryder and Snoop Dogg.
Reliving the 1990's with a performance from Orbital.....
....oh yep, being snapped by fellow festival goers who liked my frocks and being told I'm cool by teenagers young enough for me to have given birth to....
Oh well, only 10 days till CamperJam.....
AAhh Vix, what to say?! It all looks so fun. You look so totally sweet, blissed out and happy. Love that last photo especially.
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely post Vix!! You are a gorgeous lady! I'm glad you had a lovely time. It's YEARS since I've been. xxx
ReplyDeleteI am sooo jealous, i'm trying to convince the boy it will be a good idea to take baby to Glasto in a couple of years time he's not so keen on the idea! I wish i could have seen Faithless, they are amazing live and Insomnia is the song that gets me dancing. Loving the pink lippie too xx
ReplyDeleteLooks like lots of chilled fun! Lovvvee your lashes you look gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteI watched Muse, and Stevie Wonder on telly and sat there transfixed by it. I miss it so much.

ReplyDeletexxjess
Oh wow, you must have had an amazing time! You do look gorgeous! I especially love the last photo.
ReplyDeleteI saw Muse when they came to Australia a couple of years ago. They're not the kind of band that I would usually listen to, but their music is mesmerizing and they are wicked live!
Looking forward to future festival photos!
Xox Claire
What great photos and fun!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou look smashing! I am really inspired right now by your interior shots and now Calamity's daybed Also Inspired by you :) I may be up into the wee hours of the A.M. working!!!!
Thanks for being soo inspiring and keeping me grounded and comfy with being me!!!!
Hugs!!!!
Cool, a state of mind. You darling, are the epitime of cool!
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful! So summery and perfect for the perfect festival weather – we’ve been so lucky with the last 3 years of weather at Glasto haven’t we?! I would have been one of said teenagers – maybe I’ll see you next year? I missed it a lot this year – couldn’t bring myself to watch much of the highlights haha! I did see Muse and The Edge; it left me speechless, and a little bit blurry-eyed. Very glad the weather permitted the use of the raincoat – but I do hope we’ll see it soon!

OOOHH looks like you had great fun...and those teenagers are right, you are COOL! And yes, I will be drinking vodka again hehehe :)
ReplyDeleteamazing photos and amazing glasto look! i am going to see muse in august! i just cannot wait!
ReplyDeleteThank you for making me incredibly jealous! I havent been to Glastonbury in a few years now.
ReplyDeleteYou look so beautiful in these photos! It looks like you had a fantastic time and i'm glad you got good weather.... it makes so much difference!
It was such an awesome atmosphere this year! The weather made it seem like completely different world. Cider, aching legs from dancing and exploring until sunrise - just perfect.
ReplyDeleteI can stop looking at this post!
ReplyDeleteYou look so amazing-
just got a package with some new sandals to waer with my skirt tomorrow. I will definitely be popping off some shots!
You look amazing! By the sounds of it you had a fabulous time, very envious!
ReplyDeleteI often thought of you last weekend, Vix, that you would not need your wellies and how much fun you'd have! Turns out you truly did! xxx
ReplyDeleteAh, I saw someone sitting by the Other Stage on Friday that I thought looked like you but I wasn't sure - but after seeing the falsies and the outfit it definitely was! What a shame!
ReplyDeleteIt was incredible though wasn't it??? Ah what a time! Probably the best ever. And I saw Eavis too!!! xx
