Today's the first day of the 2011 Glastonbury Festival - three days of corporate sponsored peace, love and alternative music in a muddy field in Somerset. If the weather's being kind it can be fantastic. If it's not it tends to look like the scene you see here. And it looks like this year is going to be one of those years when it's going to be very very muddy. If you're going this year, good luck. Just sit in the first muddy puddle you find and remember that that will be the cleanest you feel all weekend.

To be honest it's much easier to watch the BBC's blanket coverage on the telly. That's what I'll be doing, unadventurous square sell-out that I am.
