I've been writing about #Glastonbury for *coughs* 20 years. I even wrote a book about it. I've also written about Reading and others since 1995. Can talk about #festivals forever...

Out in the morning to find a brew (or a water). This was at #Glastonbury 2022. #Glasto #GlastoFest #Glastonbury2025

Spotted by Mrs Gazette at the library today. I'd imagine most folks instinctively presume it's a horror - particularly here in #Somerset! πŸ˜† #Glastonbury #Glasto #Glastonbury2025

Some helpful tips for those intending to take the train to #Glastonbury - BOOK NOW! #Glasto #Glastonbury2025 #GlastoFest

Seems like an apt day to post this picture, an early-morning walk shot from #Glastonbury 2022. I like it, as it makes me feel like we're on the set of a Western from the 70s... With someone pushing a child around, of course (been there my friend)! #Glasto #Glastonbury2025 #GlastonburyFestival

One of my favourite drinking spots at #Glastonbury. Who fancies a swift half? 🍺🍻 #Glasto #Glastonbury2025

I meant to post this the other day - but this is a GREAT speedy portable charger... And it doesn't fill your pockets with wire! πŸ˜† #Glastonbury #tech #review

And today's view of the Tor, if you can spot it, with the sheep again! #Somerset #Glastonbury #Tor #view #photography

A quick stop on the way to work this morning as I passed Worthy. Things really ramping up now... Here's a couple of shots of the site - and I marked a couple of spots as not everyone knows! #Glastonbury #Glasto #GlastoFest #Glastonbury2025 Stone Circle and Glastonbury on Sea πŸ‘‡

Ah, we LOVE CMAT! 😍 #Glastonbury #Somerset #Glasto #gigs Here are the all-important ticket details... πŸ‘‡

A great way to see them at an imtimate venue - before the big one down the road! πŸ˜€πŸŽ€πŸŽΈ #Glastonbury #Wunderhorse #Somerset #gigs

Let's start this short week on a joyous high - with Dolly at #Glastonbury 2014! Hands in the air! #Glasto #GlastoFest #Glastonbury2025

Today's view of the Tor comes from a village called High Ham. As I made my way home, I couldn't resist stopping for this vista! Those sheep don't know they're born... #Glastonbury #Tor #Somerset #photography

A bit of an abstract one. From t'Other Stage field at #Glastonbury 2017. Ah, the sound of those flags a'fluttering... #Glasto #GlastonburyFestival #Glastonbury2025

Anyone inspected their kit yet? Might be wise while the weather is good! β˜€οΈ #Glastonbury #Glasto #camping

This will be a familiar place to festival goers, as it was previously home to Shindig... No doubt, it would be a great place for a wedding - and you could have a festival at the same time! πŸ˜€

Tipis. Seagulls. Thousands of 'em! From the top, or on my way to the top, of the Ribbon Tower in The Park at #Glastonbury 2016. That glorious morning light... #Glasto #GlastonburyFestival #Glastonbury2025

Yes, yes we are. And we do love a walk around some fields in #Somerset each year! This was taken at #Glastonbury 2014. #Glasto #Glastonbury2025 #GlastonburyFestival

I have to admit a pang of pride when I see this is what the children are listening to at home... 🀘 #metal

The family - of #Glastonbury Festival fame, of course - backed the new Eavis Award at Strode College, in nearby Street... How wonderful, and well done to all the winners! πŸ‘πŸ‘ #Somerset #news #education

Glorious light, not a very good picture, but by this point I was probably a leetle bit drunk... Waiting for The Boss at #Glastonbury 2009. A long wait. A long set! #Glasto #GlastonburyFestival #Glastonbury2025

Now, I have no idea what this picture was hoping to capture, or why I took it, but I still kinda like it. Weirdly, it captures something of that muddy feeling; standing around, drink, still happy, but absolutely knackered! This was #Glastonbury 2007. #Glasto #GlastonburyFestival

A rare 'band shot' from me - Declan Welsh and The Decadent West in the Leftfield at #Glastonbury 2019. Top band, top show! #Glasto #Glastonbury2025 #GlastonburyFestival

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is one of the nicest stages at #Glastonbury, in my humble opinion. Whatever/whoever is performing, it's a joy to watch! This pic is from 2022. #Glasto #Glastonbury2025 #GlastonburyFestival

I quite like this - the sort-of symmetry of the tents... It's a more unusual view, which I like to find! This was at #Glastonbury 2024. #Glasto #Glastonbury2025 #GlastonburyFestival

On a personal note, it's nine years (though I don't believe that can be true) since someone snapped these photos, which are among my most prized! We discussed legacy, politics, and my daughter, who was about to attend her first #Glastonbury at 18 months. πŸ₯° #Glasto #GlastonburyFestival

It's all starting... Grabbed a couple of pics on my way to work this morning. Can you pinpoint where the gate pic shows - and do you recognise the prop that's getting ready for installation? #Glastonbury #Glasto #Glastonbury2025 #GlastonburyFestival

He looked lovely this morning, overlooking the market in #Glastonbury... ☺️ #Somerset #art #news

17 local ciders, real ale, free music... A proper Somerset event! πŸ˜ƒπŸ»πŸΊ #Somerset #cider #news #events

Seagulls are GO! On an early morning stroll around The Park at #Glastonbury 2016. While the clean-up is always immense, folks really should think about what they do with their crap up there! #Glasto #GlastonburyFestival

A distant view of Coldplay at #Glastonbury 2016, as I remember. It was wet, but it was fine, as it always is... #Glasto #GlastonburyFestival #Glastonbury2025

In honour of the majestic Kidzfield line-up being announced today, I thought I'd post my favourite ever pic from that field again... Taken at #Glastonbury 2017. It truly is a field of wonder for the young uns, and the old uns! #Glasto #GlastonburyFestival #Glastonbury2025

That overcast morning, which a few spots of rain, on the Thursday (I think) of #Glastonbury 2024... Wizards welcome. #Glasto #GlastonburyFestival #Glastonbury2025

View from the tent at #Glastonbury 2009. This is that time innit, when the afternoon becomes the evening and no one really knows what to do; eat? drink more? sleep?! Love it. #Glasto #Glastonbury2025 #GlastonburyFestival

Journalist Andrew Marr enjoying a morning brew at #Glastonbury 2010. We had a little chat as we ordered. More of a nod really, as I remember... *sigh* #Glasto #GlastonburyFestival #Glastonbury2025

The mighty Status Quo on the Pyramid at #Glastonbury 2009. I'm not a devotee or anything, but it was a banging set! Loved it! #Glasto #GlastonburyFestival #Glastonbury2025

Indeed. A sculpture at the Cider Bus at #Glastonbury 2016. Can't remember if it's been there since? I don't think so... But has shown up elsewhere! #GlastonburyFestival #art #Glasto #Glastonbury2025

A moody, sorry muddy, cow staring me down in the Green Fields area (I think) at #Glastonbury 2007. My word, that was a tough one on the ankles... #GlastonburyFestival #Glasto #Glastonbury2025

Raaaaaaaar! The Kidzfield dragon at #Glastonbury 2017. What a beaut! #Glasto #GlastonburyFestival #Glastonbury2025
