Even when I attended the ‘Hat Parties’ a few years ago in Shoreditch. But I’ll get back to the hats later…

Thinking back on it now, when I first had our son, I was somehow very self-conscious. I put this down to the fact that it was not planned; we never sat down and decided we were ready.

There is something very British about a summer of festivals. To me, anyway. It was only when I moved back here in my early 20s that I knew that this festival thing was…a thing. My summers in America were certainly not characterised by festivals. But over the summer months here, everyone goes to festivals or knows someone going to a festival, for a few days or even just one day, or as many festivals as they can possibly squeeze in.
