What Glastonbury taught me...

So we've just about recovered from our week at Glastonbury, and I thought it time to share some musings with you.

What I have learned...

*That cheap 'waterproofs' don't always do what they say on the bag
*That mobile phones disappear into mud much faster than you'd think
*That once they've sunk, there's no hope of getting them back
*That marquees are pretty damn heavy
*That blow up sofas can be moe comfortable than the ones you have at home
*That people are intricate beings, with amazingly different views on the same subjects
*How competitive you get playing Bottom Trumps (before you ask, it's a card game)
*How to spell photovoltaic (as in the cells, as in solar cells), and how to increase my success in describing how they work
*How a free smoothie with no stirngs attached can breakdown all defences
*How people are genuinely interested in finding out things they don't know about Climate Change. I'll be honest, I thought there'd be quite a few people we were boring the socks off who just popped in for freebies, but I was wrong. Often it was the people with the lowest levels of previous knowledge and interest who were asking most questions and sparking genuine debate. And it was great.
*That when a marching band hand you a kazoo, it's impossible not to dance behind them playing Seven Nation Army.

Bring on Party for the Planet and Battle of the Bands, that's what I say!
