I spent last weekend at Glastonbury festival… and it didn’t rain!!!! Yea!!<\/div>\n

The music was just great – but the Glasto fun doesn’t stop there… particularly not for an imaginative romance writer…<\/p>\n

I was impressed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I spent a day in the circus fields… what fun that was. Thanks to all the performers who took the time to talk to me.<\/p>\n

It was all book research of course… why else would a girl want to spend her time watching incredibly fit and muscular performers do the most amazing things….<\/p>\n

Webmaster John suffers from vertigo – the casual way in which the trapeze artists just climbed around their rig had his face turning a whiter shade of pale (if you’ll pardon the musical pun).<\/p>\n

The circus tent was, of course, full of laughing kids – but there were some things I think we adults appreciated even more.<\/p>\n

I bet it's a lot harder than it looks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

(OK – enough of the bare chests!)<\/p>\n

The other surprise of the weekend came as we were walking through the crowds. A couple of large black 4-wheel-drive vehicles were trying to move through the crowded roadway – and not doing too well. A funny grey-haired chap on a bicycle cycled towards us crying…\u00a0\u00a0 Make Way for his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales… Then he cycled off laughing madly.<\/p>\n

We all assumed he was just joking – until we looked more closely at the black 4-W-D’s.<\/p>\n

Prince Charles was touring the site with organiser Michael Eavis. He got out of the car and was immediately surrounded by people – all keen to shake his hand.<\/p>\n

The Green Fields area of the festival is full of people interested in conservation and the environment and organic farming – so the prince was right at home.<\/p>\n

I can’t say the same for his security guards… the only suits I saw on site all weekend.<\/p>\n

I don’t think they understand what Glasto is all about.<\/p>\n
