In 30 or so days, I'll be lying back and enjoying the vocal stylings of Paloma Faith, Newton Faulkner, Lily Allen, Mr Scruff, Morcheeba, Massive Attack and Thom Yorke - as well as many more. Though not as big as Glasto, it has a lovely vibe and I'm really looking forward to a relaxing weekend in Herefordshire.
The summer of rock continues next month!
Alright, alright, I hear ya - get to the music already. You've parked the car, lugged your gear, pitched the tent, found your mates, got the right clothes on and opened a beer. Now you need entertainment, right?
Make a plan to meet at times in specific places. Use the coloured flags around the stages, mobile reception can be dodgy, text can take a frigging hour to get through. It's frustrating, but there are 175,000 people all trying to text their mates about how great the music is. So, use the flags.
See, it works.
Accept that other people are messy. It's a bit grotty in general. Trash everywhere, no showers, you get the idea. 
Other people also make poor decisions (usually with flares as demonstrated below) when egged on by a crowd. Get a little distance.
Sometimes you will get a cracking view...
Sometimes you won't. If that happens, just close your eyes, listen, and dance a little. Or a lot.
Go to stuff you may not have thought you would like. Case in point: Outdoors Man is not a-MUSEd initially...
Then the boys set got really shaking...
...aaaaaanndd we have a new number one fan.
Make sure you keep your ear to the ground for special guests, such as Kylie - oooh that foxy little minx will just turn up when you least expect it.
And abandon your mates/husband if you have to, to see artists you love and have never witnessed live. 
But mostly, just enjoy the variety of performers who have come to entertain you.
Yes, yes, the music's great, you get it. What else? Glad you asked. Here's a small selection of what I was sober enough to photograph.
Of course, after a cider-baby full of Somerset beverages, you can always get involved in a little impromptu street performance yourself. Here's me 'eating fire'. Read: burning the crap out of my tongue and dripping wax on my shoes.
I encouraged Eco Black Belt to get a henna tattoo. Yep, drunk. There is a picture somewhere of the 'tramp stamp' I acquired on my lower back. I never actually saw the tattoo itself as I am disappointingly inflexible.
Believe it or not, this is the entrance to a night club in 'UnFairGround'. The aircraft is real, it's fuselage the bar area with exposed wiring and disoriented stewardesses serving drinks. And this was one of the more normal things I could make sense of.
Glass sculpture, same area. It moved like a wave and was incredibly hypnotic. If you were on drugs I imagine that's an evening's entertainment right there.
Impressively there was a massive 3-4 storey fire show and what can only be described as a constantly rotating acrobat on a bike thing with a massive bag of balloons that was eventually released.
At this point my mind was broken and I didn't go in to this one...
In fact, we were all a little broken...
And that my friends is Glastonbury, 2010. A small slice. A slither. I urge you all to experience at least once in your lives. And follow the handy hints I have tried to impart. And most of all, remember the flags..
...take your best mates...
... the food options are many. Lining every area within the festival site are food vendors, as below... 
You can get everything from Lebanese to Eritrean to sushi to American cookies to erm... Scottish with a Belgian twist?? 
Honestly you could eat for a month here and never have the same cuisine twice. However, the convenience and temptation of fast food added to the unfeasible option of leaving the festival site brings with it a cost if you're planning on dining out every meal. Whilst it's not ridiculous (most meals will set you back around £6-£8) it can take a toll on the wallet. Add on drink and the fact you've already forked out £185 just to get in, there is unsurprisingly some room for economies to be made. Bringing your own food in is perfectly allowed and is a great way to save some pounds. Just remember to keep it simple. Like, poor uni student kind of simple. Don't forget, you won't be able to put anything in a fridge and as well as lugging the food in, if you're planning on cooking then you'll need to bring that crap too. Noodles are an excellent choice.
As the boys discovered, bringing 50 odd cans of beer was well worth the back breaking work of lugging it several miles from the car park. Hey - don't judge, we were there for 4 nights, mmmmkay? Anyways, Outdoors man is pleased with his moderately priced semi-warm cans of ale.
And yes, I lugged enough Magners cider to give me what we called a 'cider baby'. This is it before I, ahem, gave birth...
Of course, you've got to keep your eyes on your booze or someone will pinch it! See the grin? Yeah? She's not even that sorry!!
Still, I don't mind... it does put her in rather a good mood...
If booze is not your thing, then you can always opt for something less toxic. You can get yourself refreshing groovy smoothies, pressed organic apple juice mixes and weirdly, a dairy fix. These guys were singing that Kelis song whilst selling pints of milk out the back of the tractor. (My milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard...)
So, that's food and drink covered. Stay tuned for the final chapter on music and that will conclude the Glastonbury guide for this year!
