And the setting for today's photos is - THE WOODS! Surprise, surprise! Me & Emma don't have much to do with our time these days and seeing as we live one minute away from eachother we meet up, drive to some scenic place, eat whatever fatty foods we come across in Tesco, smoke our poor lungs out and take photos of eachother in outfits that will soon be too small for us. There's so much I want to do with my life but I seem to be wasting it everyday getting fat. For example, why don't I use the money I usually spend on food on learning guitar? On a positive note, I have my Hop Farm ticket! I have to admit the line up isn't as good as last year but you can't expect Bob Dylan to play there two years in a row and I think it's about time I came to terms with the fact I will never see him live. However, The Eagles, Morrissey, Lou Reed, Iggy & The Stooges, Gang Of Four, 10CC, Patti Smith & more are playing and I admit I am a 20 year old music festival virgin so it should be an experience! The festival also has the reputation for being very boho-hip and laid back, also it's really close to home. So, I think everyone should go to this festival and we can all be HAPPY HIPPIES together! xo.

I've returned home from Hop Farm, having not showered in 4 days, smelling like a hobo, with scratches, grazes & rashes all over my body. Despite all of this, it was a great weekend, the highlight being Iggy & the Stooges' performance. We were at the front row, hanging over the barriers on both Friday & Saturday so we were lucky enough to experience the music to the maximum. Iggy turned it into a real 70's concert experience, getting all the crowd going & inviting everyone on stage (if it wasn't for security not allowing more than 10 people on there, I would've been up there with him, aaaaah). 10CC gave an amazing performance, along with the Eagles, Brandon Flowers & Newton Faulkner, Patti Smith poured her heart & soul into it and preached to the crowd about freedom & peace. Bryan Ferry was sexy as ever, providing a whole show featuring burlesque dancers. The only let down was Lou Reed, everyone was expecting him to sing some of his greatest hits from Transformer and some Velvet Underground classics too, but he seemed to not care at all about being there, didn't communicate with the audience once, made no eye contact & no effort and the only songs I recognised were Sweet Jane & Sunday Morning. He was the only artist to get even remotely boo-ed throughout the whole weekend. I feel proud of the fact I can now say I've seen Prince performing Purple Rain, the Eagles performing Hotel California and Iggy Pop performing Search & Destroy. As for the festival, it was chilled out, relaxed, not fussy & better than expected. Definitely going next year!
