I’m typing out this post on the longest day of the year and tomorrow I’m beginning the journey that will take me to the Glastonbury Festival. It’s quite possible that I may meet people with whom I interact on Twitter or elsewhere on t’interwebs. So, just in case anyone has false illusions of who I am or what I’m about, I thought I’d set the record straight. Not that it’s not straight already that is.
My name’s Dave and I live in Leeds. I’m not a Yorkshireman though, I’m from Oldham. I’m told I sound a bit like Mark Radcliffe although he’s from Bolton. If you click the Audioboo player down the right hand side of this site, that’s me. My Twitter name is @caramboo which is also the name of this website. I’m 47 years old and quite possibly old enough to be the father of many people who follow me on Twitter. I’m possibly younger than some people who follow me but it’s unlikely that I’m young enough to be their son. I actually am a father and both my daughters will be coming to Glastonbury with @milliesmum and me.
This is my daughter Rebecca who’s currently about to complete her A Levels at New College in Huddersfield. She’s a bright button and she’s on target for straight A grades in History, Sociology and English Literature. We’re hoping for an A* in Sociology since she seems to excel in that subject and we’re keeping our fingers crossed for the English A. Rebecca has already received offers from Leeds and York Universities but she’s planning on taking a gap year first.
Glastonbury Reflections
I’ve been back from Glastonbury 2010 for a week now and I thought it was about time I said a few words about it. Overall it was a good festival, the weather was fantastic, too fantastic really because it was very sunny and hot all the time we were there. Anyway, I’m not going to write a big review of the whole thing, just one or two high/low spots.
