However, my worst August bank holiday was about 3 years ago, when I went to Greenbelt but didn't steward due to having a broken leg. I spent the weekend feeling miserable at missing out on the stewarding fun. I decided not to risk that this year. Instead I am staying at home, going to a wedding and watching ER. We might go and look at cots tomorrow. I feel like I've made the right choice but I do still feel sad and am missing my friends and stewarding. I'm already trying to work out how to manage to steward next year while having an 8-month-old baby.
I am fortunate to be kept up-to-date with what is going on at Greenbelt by text message and Merlin's blog. Which does remind me of some of the things I'm not missing - sweeping the campsite for intruders in the early hours of the morning being one of them!

If I remember corrctly, you didn't do the sweep last year, you guarded the golf buggies.
It's a team effort - I like to think I was contributing to the sweep. Without actually sweeping.
I did see a man with a safety jacket with MERLIN emblazoned on the back. I assume that was Merlin. He was with someone called TOSSY or POOFACE or FLAPSOCKS or something.
You were missed. Though you probably made the right choice given your extra 'baggage' this year ;-)
I just worry that no one was guarding the golf buggies on Friday night...
Take care and say hi to spoon face from me ;-)
