Very nice Derek! What a beautiful place you live in. Far from boring I can assure you!

In the one photo there was what looked like a church spire planted in the center. Do you recall what it's significance is?

Thanks for pics, well done!

Fab pics of Glastonbury and Wells Derek.
I would have expected Glastonbury would have been much busier during the music festival.

Alex ... All the shops and pubs we visited said it is usually very quiet during the festival. People tend to stay on the festival site because all facilities are there.We thought there would be loads more people too.

Thanks for the journey Derek, very enjoyable. Lovely licensed premises always catch my attention.

Boredom is never a feeling I get when I see your reports and pics. I like to see you start with you kilted and then its a documentary of the countryside. Very interesting. Thanks for the pleasure.

Derek - it was when I was a Churchwarden in Bristol and members of my parish joined in the annual pilgrimage to Glastonbury Abbey. We set off on the Friday evening, stayed in a parish hall somewhere, en route, and arrived at Glastonbury in time for a procession through the town and an open air mass communion service celebrated by the Archbishop of Canterbury on the Saturday.

I only walked it the once - after that it was car or coach!

Alex - the Festival site is some 6 miles east of the town so it's not that surprising that the town itself could be relatively quiet. It is probably busier with the pilgrims whose "venue" is right in the town itself than it is with the Festival goers.

Fantastic pictures, sir! Makes me want to get back overseas, that's for sure.

Your photo tours are always superb, Derek. Many thanks for posting them.

I appreciate also your comments on time and money; it has certainly been my experience too that getting the money consumes the time, and everything consumes money.

Best wishes.

Thanks for the pics Derek; I always love your travellogs.

On another note: Why is there no Glastonbury Music Festival next year? The Queen's Jubilee?
