A hard rain

Most of Glastonbury woke up at 8am this morning when blinding lightning flashes lit up the inside of their tents and deafening thunder rattled overhead. Since then it hasn't let up for a moment. Some parts of the site are under six inches of water, and power supplies have been interrupted. The first three acts on the Pyramid and Other stages have been cancelled, and we expect futher disruption. Everyone is, for the moment, still bearing it with traditional Glastonbury cheeriness.

The wellies, needless to say, have already sold out.
