Glastonbury Visit

 

On our wedding anniversary we though it would be good to revisit one of our favorite  places, Glastonbury

The church is one of the places you cannot help but see in the carpark

The gates were open and so was the church but on this occasion I passed on the opportunity of going in for a quick look around

You cannot help not seeing these places as you walk down the street

We visited the Glasonbury Abbey ruins this part was the chancel

At the end was where the High Altar was but this area in front was where King Arthur and Guinevere were laid to rest after the monks supposedly found them in a Saxon cemetery nearby if anything the found a local chieftain and his wife but it did the trick and brought in the money

 

This is the crypt in the |Lady Chapel 

 

And this is what it looks like inside the crypt 

 

This was taken on the wide setting on my phone and shows the whole abbey ruins

 

 

And this is the Abbots Kitchen

This looks up the center of the roof

Panoramic of the kitchen showing three of the hearths, the fourth is behind me.

I'll bring some more photos in another blog

Take Care

 

Boxing day Sky

 

The day after Christmas Boxing day I went out for a walk to see what the walk around the new estate was like and I managed to wintry sky shots 

 

The developers had their eye on this field to build over 500 houses on, The village objected and they lost planning only to appeal to the home secretary. He did not uphold their appeal and they lost, we won for now. I have no doubt houses will go on here eventually 

 

The sun over the estate built here in the village a few years ago

Even the kids were not playing today, more likely at home with their new toys while their parents lay around bloated from Christmas Dinner

Path winding around towards the estate

Happy Skywatch

Rainbow Cloud

This was a chance sighting when I looked out the kitchen window so to get a better view I went upstairs to the bathroom and took the photos out of the window. Sorry but they do not do what I saw justice

 The cloud does not look so good in this shot

 But zooming in you can see the rainbow in the cloud

 Happy Skywatch
