A Day Adventure in Pics

[Derek]

It was an early start. 6.10am and the pack was filled.


7am and we were having tea and coffee in one of the wetherspoons down town.


The place was empty as you can see


Then we hit the station and got ourselves sorted




And away we were


Less than an hour later were in another bus station café having cuppa waiting for a bus to take us to our destination

[Derek]

It wasn't a long journey, and here we are. We decided to come to Glastonbury.
The music festival was on and there is always a great vibe in the town during the fest. Also the town doesn't come alive till lunchtime onwards. It’s a really quaint place with loads of ‘magical’ ‘avalon’ type shops.






In need of some substance by now, we took a rest. We had the place to ourselves.


Then we went to a fab butchers. Bought some sausages and some cartons of their home made curry sauces. We had a hot meat madras and a Jalfrezi.

[Derek]

We took a look around the little courtyards off the main street.

[Derek]

We found this incredible candle/aromatherapy shop.






This is the tourist board office


Really quaint inside too with some local characters

[Derek]

Then back to the streets. It was getting late morning and it was still quite.


The wife spotted a farmers market so took off there while I guarded the shopping bags and chilled out here. It was still early in Glastonbury time. Had the place to myself apart from the landlord.






Soon after the wife rejoined me, the pub dog arrived back from his run in the fields nearby.


He was so tired after his excursion he had a little nap under the dartboard.

[Derek]

This is what be bought in Glastonbury by the way
A door knocker


Celtic Cross night light holder


And a earthy type magical face night light holder

[Derek]

Then we took another bus and in less than 20mins were here ….


We are in Wells. Wells Cathedral in the background.


Passed a great little market


Walked a few narrow streets

What fun! I've always loved that little off-street covey of shops. Friends used to run one.

Congrats on making the music fest. I keep hoping, but timing hasn't been right.......time but not money, money no time, neither time nor money. Maybe next year.

[Derek]

Found yet another market as we got closer to the Cathedral




More little alley ways and a family busking .. (They were actually raising money for a local
charity… good on ’em )




A closer view of the Cathedral. We didn't have time unfortunately to go in.


Then we made our way back to a bus stop to head home

[Derek]

Once we were back home my duties hadn't finished.
I had to go to our neighbours house (the old farmhouse in the pic), to feed the cat as they are away.


The cat usually curls up in the fire grate but was out when I got there. I love there grate. The old bread oven is on the left hand side.


Then it was back up through the graveyard to our cottage and the day was done


That’s it. Hope I aint bored you with all these pics
