Glastonbury 2017

What a difference a year makes…. I have flashbacks of last years Glastonbury and sometimes they make me quiver… The mud, the rain and the Brexit vote all playing a huge role in the atmosphere. The heavy Sunday meth induced comedown of no sleep, sitting in mud and drizzle nursing a Guinness with too much head on it and of course the tragic news of Pritchards passing – I saw the festival as test for the 3 months of globe trotting and festival adventures I was about to embark on.

Sex, Drugs and Out in the Open

  The other day whilst thinking of content for this humble musing, I started to think over not just my successes but also my missed opportunities. Anyone who is successful at anything will probably give the same advice ‘always learn from your mistakes’. This is sound advice unless like me you are someone who makes his lion’s share of his mistakes whilst under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. I also started to reflect on all my experiences of having sex in public places and have found an interesting correlation between blowing it with birds – being shit faced –…
