It's been a funny old week this one. The week felt odd to start with on Monday. There was graphic design work to do, quotes to submit and the usual marketing jobs to done, but something didn't quite feel right. And then I realised. It's Glastonbury week and I wasn't going to be there. I don't go every year by any means but me, my wife and young daughter went last year and the year before and it feels wrong not to be there this year. Oh I know it's going to rain and get muddy, but I was there in 2007 when it was like a monsoon for the entire weekend and still had a brilliant time (although admittedly I didn't have my daughter there that year as she was only one at the time).
I know I can catch it all on TV and the radio (in fact I'm tuning in as I type) but I don't know whether that makes me feel better or worse about not being there. I hear there are already folk whining about the appearance of U2 (but when is there not whining about the appearance of a particular headliner or lineup) but the festival is so much more than just about the live music. Since we started taking our daughter, I've seen less and less live bands but had a better and better time, as I get to see stuff I otherwise never would have (and I can remember what I saw when I get home too, which is always a bonus!).
As the festival takes a break next year it means the earliest opportunity to go back there is 2013, but I'm gonna do my best to make sure we are all there then. There really is no place like it. To soften the blow of missing it this year, we are going to attend Deer Shed Festival in North Yorkshire next month, which I am looking forward to. Oh and Gruff Rhys at Harrogate Theatre too.
Still, this week the likes of OCS, Beaucare and new clients Red Cat Property and Bradfern have kept me busy and means that Howabout Creative Solutions continues to produce a varied portfolio of graphic design work for clients regional and national.
