Thank you everyone .. Great news is that we are going ..

Hi everyone,

Thank you to all who sent messages regarding the passing of Sam's mum, at the time we were very uncertain of what we were going to do and obviously Glastonbury was not paramount at the time. We had the funeral last Friday and are now moving on.

I always thought that it was the best thing to go to Glasto but obviously it had to be Sam's decision and yesterday it was given the thumbs up .

Sam feels that there is no better way to move on than to go to Glastonbury and we have found somebody to look after our boys now too ..

When at the funeral, people were asking if there was anything that they could do for us, Sam remembered and gave a couple of them a call yesterday, she mentioned that her mum was going to look after them and they both just said that it was "No Problem".

We checked the motorhome (Elton !!) into the garage for its MOT yesterday (fingers crossed for that !!). She is old now, but we need one more Glasto in her. We call her "Elton" because she's a "Rocket Van" (very slow really !)

This will be our fourth Glasto together, but our first time without our children (they both have exams this year), so we are really looking forward to a more adult orientated festival with some much later nights ...

We are both now getting very excited and looking forward to another amazing experience that is "Glastonbury Festival".

Thanks to everyone again .. and ..Oh Yes ... Where are our bloody tickets !!!!!

Oh Andy (Zakmatt), so pleased you and Sam have decided to go Hope old Elton makes it and we can share a few beers in the campervan fields, are you aiming to get there Tuesday or are you arriving later?

[zakmatt]

If Elton makes it, we were planning on leaving early Tuesday and getting there at around Mid-day when campervan field opens.

We did this last year and it all went very smoothly, there was still quite a queue to get in though, even that early ..

Really looking forward to it now ..

Nice one - and obviously the right decision. Hope you really enjoy it and let go for a few days.

I will now make you a zakmatt badge and if you private message me your address I will post it to you so you are not obliged to make the meet. Just obliged to wear it.

[zakmatt]

It will be a pleasure ... The support that you guys have given has been great .. We have never met but I feel like I have known you for ages.

Thank you all so much.



Now ... LETS DO GLASTONBURY .... !!!

Excellent news, I'm sure it will be the right thing to do. Life has to go on and you could go to a special area and raise a glass to Sam's mum there. There are so many spiritual places that she'll probably feel very close.
