Glastonbury, Donkey Rides and Goodbyes

The sky is blue, the sun is shining and it is practically t-shirt weather.  For my last day on holiday we spent the day in Glastonbury.  It's the first time I've been to this place, but in general it was what I was expecting; a quaint place surrounded by countryside, with the Tor Building looking down on it.


What I wasn't expecting was the hippie culture to be so predominant here.  There were people walking around without shoes, Gandalf look-a-likes sipping coffee outside cafe's, shop after shop selling merchandise promoting witch craft and the like.  There were also a couple of buildings that looked like they housed cults.


It was very interesting and a bit bizarre.  I did feel a bit like a fish out of water and a tourist as 'hippie' is definitely not my style.


The Tor was a trip up to the top of the hill.  During which we said 'Hello Sheep' to the majority of the sheep that were on the banks of the hill.  The sheep seemed to have been sheared in a rather haphazard way as though the farmer couldn't keep hold of them long enough to shear them properly.


At the top of the hill we were rewarded with awesome views and of people doing some unusual 'yoga'.  There was a lot of thrusting action going on that is the only way I can describe it.


The day ended with a re-visit to Weston-Super-Mare beach to maximise on the sun.  To have a play in the sand and another ride on donkey for Princess.


She loved it.  She was shouting 'Nimmie, Cerys, Donkey'  on the return trip back on the Donkey.


I had a great 5 days off.  Many thanks Carters for letting me join.  Miss you and love you very much Princess.  xx
