Two Trips Out

We took a trip to Glastonbury to meet with Gillian and Rob for the afternoon.

I loved this gorgeous mural.

Notice how the painting spills onto the pavement.

It did my heart good to spend some time again with them.

***************************************

Our next trip was to The House of Marbles.

I have been there before, but not Glenn.

It was very busy this time!

I loved being there again.

I enjoyed the pottery exhibition.

This pot says (as best I can reconstruct)

"Be as good as you can
At being what you are
Be like a glowworm
If you can't be a star."

Indeed.

The marble runs were fascinating to watch.
What makes the marble tumbling go one way and not another this time...?

I bet the creaters of these marble runs had great fun making them!

And the really big one on one and a quarter walls.

Fascinating to watch!

Antique marble and other games exhibition.

A fence on our drive to Dartmoor from The House of Marbles.

I love that the hand-made fence has been there for years, and is not destroyed/vandalised...

We stopped at this swift river.

Lovely sounds.

And onto Dartmoor.

Beautiful.

Blustery...

Moody.

Different wild flowers here in England.

A stop at a swift-flowing river.

Interesting to be there and see this brack water.

We walked along for a while.

Soothing sounds.

Remnants of an ancient bridge.

Facing away from the bank, a peaceful scene.

Jane took a picture of Glenn and me.

And Jane.
Thank you for this lovely trip!

Some canoeists drove up and slipped into the river

 and white-water canoed downstream.

Some horses on Dartmoor.

Vast views.

Windy!

Effective 'lawn-mowers.'

'

Bleak. 

Beautiful.

We drove back to Bridgwater.

I asked to be dropped off at the WeightWatcher's meeting in town.

I liked this stone house adjoining the church-hall meeting venue.

Well organised WeightWatcher's meeting.

And I took the Canal Walk home.

I liked this ancient stone wall still doing it's job.

And some peaceful scenes along my walk home.

The school looked different!

I discovered they razed the previous buildings and erected a new school.

The final part of my walk.

This is the book I was also reading at Jane's.

Interesting views and observations.

A real blessing to spend time with Jane.
