it surely is kc .... We even brought food with us as well ...oh we did spend a bit of that on diesel ( forgot about that bit) but it's mainly been food Ginger and alcohol ( I don't drink alcohol though just hubby) ... Today we had two coffees and a scone that cost us £8 how obsurd is that ? Then we had Chinese takeaway ( you can take the man away from home but you can't change his cravings lol) that came to over £11 it all seems to mount up ... Think I will need to sit down with pen and paper and try to see where it has all went cause it is annoying the hell outa me just now
I found in Glastonbury there were alot of people cashing in on the place ... Did anyone else think that ? One shop was selling a crystal d1ldo I meanlike !!!!!! is that all about ?0 -
Another shop was selling this shammanic cleansing feather tool thing for £40 I have seen them on sale for less than £10 ok maybe not as pretty but come on ... And a dream catcher for £60 surely no one would give them that amount of money ?
I think I became very disalusioned ( sp) with it all tbh0 -

As with so many things which are "reactions" and "alternatives" to the current mode of thinking - the money grabbers sharp move in and poison the well. Then move on to something else.

Sadly z there was too much of the plastic etc tat ... Ha ha ha to sun shining in new places ... I spose it would be lighting up from the inside out lol
I think it's just the cynic in me.... But I do find this cashing in ( on possibly vulnerable people) very ugly0 -

They won't be vulnerable. Truly vulnerable people usually have no money. This is trying to cash in on people who believe money and objects fill empty lives."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

Two wise comments from Z, about the sun shining
and who's vulnerable and who's not.... El, I didn't realise it had got like that, I haven't been to Glastonbury for a while - there was a lot of tourist tut when I was there, but obviously things have deteriorated.
Anyway, put it out of your head - the Eden Project!2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
If you're still in the Glastonbury area, the Clarks discount village at Street is good for bargain hunting.
A place to visit near there is Wells, with the Cathedral, the Bishops Palace and the oldest street in England, where the cathedral staff and choristers used to live.0
