I don't know how likely anyone would want to do this but I would so love to have a holiday....
Is there anyone out there, who would like to have a pair of Glastonbury Festival tickets, plus the use of my static with comfy bed, hot shower and loo (within 5 minute walk of the pyramid stage, I live that close) in exchange for feeding my looking after my goats, sheep and birdies during the festival?
The animals live a 10 minute walk in the opposite direction and would need to be done twice everyday.
I thought it was going to be too cheeky to ask, but then I found out what some people pay for legit tickets to festivals after they have sold out :o
I would leave plenty of food for both animals and caretakers, and you can help yourself to anything from the gardens, and all the eggs you could possibly want.
Watcha think?
-
I think its fab idea!
not something I'm able to take you up on, but best of luck :)
just one thing - will the goats be in milk, or just need feeding?
-
I plan to have them in milk, but can have an extra bod in to do the milking if need be. He wouldn't want to look after the rest though ;) too busy.
-
YEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
me and my 12yr old daughter would gladly take that offer!!!
you could even have my house in cornwall as a swap!!
-
Hey you could take an extra too, as your daughter is under 16 she gets in free ;D
-
how excellent! itll give me chance to get some goaty experience too! thanks cw.
-
If you want to come visit any time before hand, give us a shout ;)
-
What a brilliant idea and could it be the start of something bigger? There must be loads of people on here who would love a change of scenery who could do a swap with a like minded family...so you swap houses and animals for a week/weekend, you'd still be able to do some sightseeing and just getting away from familiarity is a tremendous boost to the system :D
-
good idea,
now then anyone live near camp bestival??
or the green man??
-
Too far from home for my OCD and inbuilt paranoia to cope with hun, but I'm sure someone would.
Perhaps we should all ask Dan nicely if we can have a house/holiday swap sticky or something.
Where is the eyelash fluttering smiley :D :D
-
Yes, I would be up for that.
The last few times I have been to glastonbury festival, my husband stays home for our place, and I am always up early at the festival and honestly a bit bored between the hours of 6am to about 10am. (Not a massive drinker, but I love the music and atmosphere)
If you want me to do that, I'd be happy to come over to see about it, I live in Bournemouth, so not too far if you'd prefer me to nip over a few times to visit beforehand to get some training in (I know everyone's got their own special way of doing things ;) )
I know I'm pretty quiet on these boards, oftne too busy tending animals or working to get on the interenet.

I'm really not sure this is appropriate, but... :eyelashes:
-
Im leaving my lot with a very nice Helpx chap whilst I return to the UK for a week but would gladly offer my home for a holiday so that I could go and visit somewhere else...or my children. (swap for me is not on but do come to Germany for free accom in exchange for animal sitting)
