Glastonbury, i mean Pilton Festival

I have learned that if your from round these parts, then it's called Pilton Festival.

If i stick my head out of the kitchen window, i can hear the festival happening in the distance.
It's gutting not to be in there really, maybe next year.

On Wednesday (when most of the festival go'ers arrived) I was told by a woman with a very strong Somerset accent, who wound down her window and stopped her car, as she passed me walking to pick up Daisy from school that it was "Gridlock in Frome".
This made me (and Sarah) laugh lots.
We laughed and laughed at this.
Partly cos of the accent and the fact that she stopped her car to tell us, even though we were walking and nowhere near Frome, but also because having lived in London for 17 years, i bet the Frome gridlock is nothing like a London gridlock.

I am enjoying all the village ker-fuffle about Glastonbury Pilton Festival though.
