Wellies, toilet roll, Home Bargains tissues, waterproof jacket...*check*
She rang tonight and said she already feels very icky and dirty, but has had a good look round, and has already bought some vintage clothes. Then I was regailed with a very vivid toilet description of what sound almost like open latrines, with plenty of opportunities to see what the people before you have deposited. Eeeeugh. Not for me. I would have to be helicoptered in...The line up is very good though and I know she'll love the Foo Fighters and The Black Keys tomorrow, The Cure on Saturday, and The Vaccines on Sunday.
I am a worried Mum but trying not to fuss...thanks again everyone xx
She will be fine Sally, I am smiling as I am reading your post! I think working as I did in microbiology for years would have stood me in good stead for the toilets but not sure I would like to be there on the last day of the festival. Best not to think about it! I should think she will have a whale of a time but definitely ready for home comforts by the end of it all XX
ReplyDeleteSounds like she'll have a great time :) My brother is at Reading - though he's now a festival veteran, I remember when he went to his first one - came home filthy with no tent but he'd had a great time.
ReplyDeleteGuessing next summer my eldest will be heading off somewhere - hoping all his scouting experiences will help.
I'm sure she'll have a fab time. I hope the weather isn't too unkind to her - the forecast doesn't look brilliant for the weekend :(
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she'll have a fab time, although I understand the worried mum thing very well. My 14 yr old has just gone off shopping to the 'big' town near us for the day with a friend and I'm worried about that because it's her first time without an adult in tow.

I can imagine how you must be feeling! I'm sure it will be a memory in the making for her, and that she will have a great time.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to go thru this with my (17 yr old)daughter - she is so fastidious there's no way she would go as yet - her experience of the Duke of Edinburgh award put her off camping I think! So your's is a brave daughter, good for her and I hope she has fun!
