Not often that you have a blazing log fire when the temperature is 25 degrees but that is the custom in chalice well when I and Françoise went to join the celebration of Lammas which is to do with the first harvests. I found the numbers were considerably lower then last time but in a way that was a relief and I had one or two meaningful conversations. One was with a German who was camping in...

To Wells with our visiting friend. You never know what you're going to find so great is the rate of change these days.

The reading was interesting but unfortunately I was afflicted by one of my more frequent stomach/digestion problems.  Such was the discomfort i had to leave the session (a first for me) and let Françoise represent me.  It seems my stomach is increasingly intolerant to...
