The Hotel Inspectors

 

Well the school inspectors really. But I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do with this information. Behave differently? Not shout at the teachers? The school seemed smarter than it normally was and they had put new pictures on the wall.

Food. From the Garden

 

We are starting to get real food in the garden. Very exciting.

And Twin Falls on BBC Introducing stage. I thought they were great. And not just because they gave me a free demo CD. I will buy their album.

#glasto I made it onto the One Show

 

Friday night at Glastonbury. And I made it onto the One Show. If you looked carefully.

#glasto A few Glastonbury 2013 photos

 

On day one my tent was quite tidy.

The weather was super.

And the size still astonishes me.

I used the sauna in the Tipi Field during the festival. I’ve never been cleaner at Glastonbury.

Fixing a tent pole

 

My tent pole had snapped. Not good. It was a tent I liked a lot and wanted to use for Glastonbury.

What to do?

It’s not really possible to buy spare parts for old tents. I even bid on a few second hand versions of the same tent on Ebay so I would have some spares.

But I learnt that you could buy long tent poles. After buying the wrong width initially (its quite hard to know if your poles are 7.9mm or 8.1mm without having them with you in the shop), I bought a new pole

I cut the new pole to the right length.

I bought a threader to help get the elastic through the tent.

And it worked. Yippee.

Much easier and cheaper than buying a new tent.

Brussels – June 2013
