My friend Sara came to stay and we went down for the day.
"We went to Glastonbury for the day. We both woke early so we set off just after 8. We stopped at Leigh Delamare services for breakfast and got to G at about 11. We started off with a spot of shopping with lunch at Rainbow's End and a visit to a new Glastonbury musuem which was lovely- all about the myths and legends. In the afternoon we went to the Chalice Well gardens where there is a new channel leading from the Vesica pool and out of the gardens, it is lovely. We spent ages on the swing. Then we walked back into town and visited the Abbey, which was very busy as the Catholic pilgrimage was on. We had tea at the Abbey Tea Rooms. We also had a lovely mystical encounter with the owner of the Witchcraft shop. We left about 6 and got home at 8.30."
I took some photos but for some reason I never got round to having the film developed!
I bought cards as usual, a unicorn and faery ornament, and books, "Glastonbury Tor" by Nick Mann, Glastonbury tales, and Glastonbury in old photos.
Ann and I were supposed to have a stay at Little St. Michaels in December but disaster- I woke at 3am with an awful stomach bug so we had to cancel. We were able to re-arrange the booking for December 2005 though. I was very disappointed.
