Having met a delightful psychic lady called Christine, one of the trustees of Chalice Well, we went to have a psychic reading. 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 Francoise represent me. It seems my stomach is increasingly intolerant to...
Today is Beltane otherwise known as mayday the 1st of May we are off to Glastonbury in general and chalice well in particular to celebrate. Many people particularly the ladies come bedecked with flowers in their hair. Men bring along their wizard sticks. I had a number of wonderful conversations with strangers as you do.

We sat in the front seat of the Park and Ride bus from Odd Down to the city centre. We committed the crime of sitting site by...
I have got to hand it to the Romans. They infiltrated in so many countries and so many places. Through some amazing bush telegraph they came to Somerset and mined for tin and lead.
