Last Post.
It's done! Our mission to magdalene is complete. What now? A new blog is born, as I'm now Mrs Jones I thought it fitting to call it Keeping up with Mr and Mrs Jones. So if, like the lovely Chantal you want to see the next adventure, it's www.keepingupwithmrandmrsjones.blogspot.com
Bye for now :)

Me flying on the white horse!
The view from the white horse, the only way to get a good picture of the white horse is from the air.
A hill fort, now home to sheep. Goes back about 4 thousand years.

this was the biggest monastic community in the country. Now Ely is the biggest and Ely is still in use.
Glastonbrury abbey

I was sitting in a swing seat in a garden down the bottom of the hill.
the well at glastonbury, water bubbles up here through the earth.
the climb
all windswept

the somerset levels
we had a great relaxing day in glastonbury
This tower was once part of a church, the tor has been a place of worship for thousands of years. During the reign of Henry the VIII, the disolution of the monastaries in the 1530s, the last bishop of glastonbury refused to leave. He was accused of stealing church property, now the property of the king and hung on glastonbury tor for treason. The Abbey fell in to ruins.
Glastonbury tor
the stairs between the cathedral and the chancel. Great view.
More fan vaulting in the chancel
the choir, we didn't get much of a look at the miserichords under the seats, I did manage a peek though. Wells have very good miserichords. sorry for my spelling.
the scissor arches, build to stop the cathedral sinking.
this place was built to impress the bishop of bath and wells who was presiding in bath, in their wonderful cathedral so wells had to be even better. The front had holes in for people to sing through, the whole thing was painted bright colours. Any one coming here on a pigramage wouldn't have been dissapointed.
Wells
Glastonbury Tor
Farleigh Castle, we just drove past this one though.
there was a school house attached at one point.
the outside of the saxon church.
