Since posting the above, the wife has just informed me that she is going on into the city an hour or so before me to do some shopping with my mother. Were all meeting up in a Wetherspoons pub by the station for a beer before we all head off to the festival. That means now I'll have to go it alone as far as the pub/station. This is defintely a FIRST for me. I must admit, I'm a little nervous but I'm gonna give it a shot.
