Tickets have arrived and excitement levels are starting to rise as I mentally make a check list for End of the Road Festival. Each year we fill the car with an enormous amount of stuff that we don't really need and head to the Larmer Tree Gardens in Salisbury, where music and the distinct aroma of spicy cider fills the air.
Last year was the first time we dared a festival with F and unsurprisingly – as fun as it was – it made a huge difference to our experience. No longer could I stagger around fairy lit woods after consuming my second jagerbomb at 1am, listening to the sounds of bass notes or fiddles drift by from a distant tent. Nope. Last year I could be found darting through the crowds after an excitable F, creating clay dinosaurs or securely fastened to a pushchair with a blissfully sleeping babe, headphones encasing his precious ears as I sat on hay bales in the Badger Inn sipping on rum and coke.
However this year we'll be prepared. We have set up a toddler rota between us, so we each get a night off to dance about with our friends and a morning to nurse our heads, alongside all the family fun to be had.
