I’m a morris dancer and this is pretty much my morris outfit, except we normally wear longer skirts and Doc Martens: it’s gothic morris.

What have you learned?
This is my 15th [Glastonbury] and some things never change – like the stone circle and the toilets. Glastonbury has made me a more tolerant person the rest of the year. Two days ago, I also learned how to make a silver ring at a workshop and yesterday how to blow glass – I made a glass bauble.

What are you wearing?
I just put on whatever is in my drawer, but I really like bright clothes like this T-shirt – and it says Super Fly Guy, which I am! My hair’s been like this since my friends shaved the sides when I was asleep two years ago.

I have been really enjoying the food. There’s an amazing Creole place called Yam the Cassava.

What’s the best thing you have seen?
The whole thing is breathtaking. I’m from Adelaide in Australia and this is my first Glastonbury – we don’t have anything like this in Australia.

What are you wearing?
I’ve probably been here about eight times, and everything I am wearing I bought in Glastonbury, except the leotard.

What are you wearing?
This is my zookeeper’s uniform. I’ve been walking my camel Humphrey around so children can ride on him and pet him.
