The Glastonbury Thorn

Not quite a garden visit but a nice day out with the boy.

We had a Vegiburger at the Blue Note Café (bet Scrungee & Roma have been there )







According to legend the Glastonbury Thorn grew from the staff of Joseph of Aramathea when he came to England with the infant Jesus, but we won't go into that.

A few shots of the town,





Before going onto the levels to visit the Peat Mines

 

It was, but the other cutting from it on the hill. Good job for them that I didn't catch them.

 

Some lovely old buildings there Zigs.

 

Bit of a lack of loonies today though

 

Last time I was in Glastonbury ,circa 1990 , the place was full of new age loonies - love and peace man . So busy we could not park , ended up in Street . A town full of shoe shops - amazing !

 

There's me thinking of the drive and getting blatted. Years ago when the police had better things to do than chase the young , drunk in cars which had no power steering and taking on a hump back bridge with a fork just after. Place near Mear Heath on the road from Wells to Glastonbury. As you may guess the road won and we were lucky to get out alive. Silly boys back then. Nice to see part of the old stomping ground Zigs.

 

Can't remember that one from the daze when I was there.

 

You'd like it, its a totally vegetarian Café. Although I was tempted to ask if the vegiburger had any Horse in it

 

We saw a car being recovered from a ditch yesterday, out on the road to Wedmore.

 

Hope it wasn't the same as mine, an old Corsair with furry dice hanging from the mirror.
The roof and steering wheel were three inches apart. Head lights facing each other from a telegraph pole we took out too.

 

It did have fluffy dice
