Hotter Than July



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.....

  3. I 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

  7. Vix you look stunning on all these photos. I'm so jealous.
    I watched Muse, and Stevie Wonder on telly and sat there transfixed by it. I miss it so much.

    I so would have met you if I'd gone. Although my festival look wouldn't have been anywhere near as good as yours.

  23. You look STUNNING - the happiest I've ever seen you! Gorgeous lady.

    We've been watching the coverage and have made a pact to be there next year. Our friend has even offered her vintage VW camper so we can travel and sleep in style! I'm sure it'll rain but I doubt that dampens the spirit. Thanks for the inspiration! xx

  30. Oh wow, you must have had an amazing time! You do look gorgeous! I especially love the last photo.

    I 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!

  32. Cool, a state of mind. You darling, are the epitime of cool!

  33. You 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!

  40. I 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

    ReplyDelete
  41. Ah, 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!

    It was incredible though wasn't it??? Ah what a time! Probably the best ever. And I saw Eavis too!!! xx
