This is going to be one of those days where without any previous intention this is going to be a full diary. Today is the celebration of Samhein otherwise known as Halloween and we set off early to go to Glastonbury to enjoy the wonderful weather, the warmth, the sun, and the amazing people who turn up on these occasions. However, before that, I should mention that I wrote a preparatory paper in...

Combined visit to Glastonbury and Wells
Not often that you have a blazing log fire when the temperature is 25 degrees but that is the custom in chalice well when I and Françoise went to join the celebration of Lammas which is to do with the first harvests.

Midsummer solstice at Glastonbury

Beltane was originally a Gaelic Mayday festival marking the beginning of summer tradition and they held on...

Tucker Carlson was removed from his position with mainstream Media because he made too many...
Nearly the Oppenheimer film, Lammas in Glastonbury
I met for an 8.30 breakfast this morning at Wetherspoons with a friend of mine, David. There were about a dozen people there.
