I had a ticket to Glastonbury and didn’t buy the rest of it. I was in Costa Rica and it completely slipped my mind (I blame the organisers for not reminding me – middle-class problems at its finest). But I also blame myself. And have to take responsibility because I think, deep down, this year it wasn’t for me. My mum and sister didn’t…
