I'm thinking of putting together some photographs by my children (with my very expensive camera) as they were pushed around #Glastonbury in their comfy cart. Honestly, it's a journey from the sublime to the ridiculous, via the hilarious and out of focus. I think you'd like it.

When Portaloos were still a thing - 2011... Seems funny now, but yes, we all used to encase ourselves in plastic, stepping into the unknown while holding our breath! Most people don't thank the gods for long drops, but I do, because these are *far* worse! #Glastonbury #Glasto

I always like to get at least one early morning walk around #Glastonbury with my camera. It's a chance to savour it, at a time most don't. I also like to take as many pictures as I can from 'different' spots, of different things, at different times.

This is the crowd for the drone show on Wednesday night at #Glastonbury . From what I can make out, it's far bigger than the turnout for SZA. No disrespect to her, at all, but it does make you question the booking. Honestly, I think Madonna fell through and it all got bumped up.
