1. The line-up managed to be awesome and managable, all at the same time.

2. It took 10 minutes to walk from the tent to the stage, not an hour and a half.

3. The weather. It was sunny. I almost cried.

4. The crowd were brilliant, which made all the performers happy. There was not a single "you're not clapping loud enough" diva strop.

5. There were a lot of kids. Whilst this in itself is not a positive, it meant there was lots of face painting, opportunities to make farms out of clay and cutemenwithbabies. (There was also lots of accidental swearing in front of young ones, but the parents were so down-with-the-kids cool, they didn't mind. In fact, they enjoyed how it broadened their life experiences. Or something).

6. It took 20 minutes to pack up the tent and get off the site. At no point did I feel like I was going to have to repitch my tent and stay there FOREVER.

7. £3 for a paper cup of Cava. The ultimate in middle class festival going.

8. Guilty Pleasures. Admittedly this was also at Glastonbury, but I never actually made it there.

9. Less than 5% of the population was made up of Australians. I have no objection to Australians, (in fact, someofmyfriendsareAustralians) but walking round Glastonbury felt like walking round Sydney.

10. 3 nights in a tent vs 5 nights in a tent. 3 days of dirt vs 5 days of dirt. 3 days of longdrop toilets vs 5 days of longdrop toilets. Repeat ad nauseum.

10.5. The Kings of Neon (see photo).
