I have essentially been waiting for today since this time last year. It is Secret Garden Party time again!!
Our house looks like somebody dropped a bomb on Hobbycraft. I have finished all three of my costumes, but Sam is going all out (as usual) and has a full day's work ahead of him before we set off to Nottingham tonight to drink wine with Catie and get seriously piss-pantingly excited.
Twiggy is crew chef this year and has been on-site since Monday, he says the festival looks stunning. We got a teeny sneak preview of the construction in the middle of the lake earlier this year and HOLY FUCK I cannot wait to see it in person. Keep chopping and changing about wanting to see bands... would love to check out Fenech Soler, Jakwob, Doorly and definitely Crystal Fighters, but part of me knows that the beauty of the festival is not to bank on doing anything. Follow your noseses, by the seat of your pantses.... that's the magic of the Garden.
My back is being a bit scary - I knocked it quite badly at work on Monday and ended up stuck on the office floor, locked in and unable to get up. Very unfortunate timing. I have tramadol and a back brace though, and I do feel much better today. Taking my pilates mat with me so we can do morning exertions! All mobilisation is money in the bank at the moment.
Just so happy to have a week away from the hell of work, with my best people. Bring it on!
