      73ème étape ~ Stonehenge

      14 Oktober 2022, England ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      Découverte de ce fameux monument qu’est Stonehenge.
      Ces immenses cailloux sont impressionnants à voir cependant l’endroit est plus petit que ce à quoi l’on s’attendait.
      Nous nous sommes parqués sur une route adjacente et nous avons pu observer le monument depuis le chemin gratuit, ce qui nous a permis d’économiser les 22£ par personne demandée. Nous avons vu exactement la même chose que ceux qui ont payé alors on est ravi ! ☺️
      Puis nous avons fait route vers Cheddar. Grâce à une route fermée, nous avons emprunté un sentier pas très adapté à un camping car mais il nous a offert des paysages à couper le souffle 🥰      Baca lagi

      Bath and Crockerton

      8 Ogos 2023, England ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      Today was a travelling day. Highnam (Gloucestershire) to Crockerton (Wiltshire) is only 1.5 hours drive so we planned to go via Bath and check out the Roman bath. We could have gone on the motorway via Bristol but we decided to go via Cirencester because I wanted to buy a bag that I saw on Saturday and regretted not buying. It's made of cork fabric, which I haven't come across before. I am really happy with it ☺️

      I didn't book the Roman Bath tickets in advance because I didn't know how long we would stay in Cirencester and we've had traffic delays and parking problems in the past. We didn't want extra stress of a deadline. We did find parking thanks to Murgatroyd, however there was an almighty queue for the Bath. We would have had to hang around for a couple more hours and we were a bit tired.

      Considered going through the Cathedral instead. You can climb to the top and look down on the Bath! However that was also a tour that we would have needed to wait for. So we decided to give it a miss. If we've got nothing better to do in the next couple of days we might try again, but if not I shall content myself with Maxine's photo (and we've seen enough Cathedrals of late).

      We're staying at Crockerton which is a tiny village about 30 minutes east of Bath. Very secluded here. When we first arrived we weren't sure where our accommodation was. We thought for a moment that our cabin looked much smaller than we imagined - it was actually his shed. Phew! Sometimes hard to tell from the photos. Our suite is part of the main house. They live mostly upstairs. It's very luxurious and I'm sure we'll be very comfortable. We ate out at an Indian restaurant tonight. Makes a change from Sainsbury's frozen dinners.      Baca lagi

      Rock Tetris

      22 Disember 2023, England ⋅ 🌬 9 °C

      This morning we rolled out of bed at an ungodly time and boarded a bus to head to Stonehenge for the winter equinox. This was one of the earliest events that we booked for our holiday so it's a bit weird that we've reached that point...

      We imagined that this would be a relatively small event, so we were surprised when the bus was at a standstill from traffic kilometres before the visitor centre!

      We sat there inching forward while the guide was telling us facts about the area. After a while, it became evident that there was no way that the bus was getting to the centre in time to walk to Stonehenge itself before dawn.

      So we and a few other people got off and speed walked down the roadside and it's lucky we did as we reached the monument with about 1 minute to spare!

      There were hundreds and hundreds of people there, all who came to see the sun rise for the shortest day of the year. The centre of Stonehenge was chock full of people, as this is one of the few times per year that they let people onto the monument itself.

      As soon as we got there, the local druids started their celebrations which were quite fun to watch. The two of us just walked around taking in everything that was happening (which was a lot!)

      It's worth mentioning we got ridiculously lucky with the weather, it was warm, still, and not a drop of rain in the sky!

      After a while we met up with the tour group and listened to some fun facts, before heading back to the bus.

      We took a different track back to the bus which walked us past the Stonehenge Cursus, which is another even older monument which is composed of straight mile-long ditches which were initially thought to be related to Roman circuses until they realised it was much too old. Now all they know is that it was for more ceremonial things.

      Eventually we were back at the bus and on our way back to Salisbury where the bus stopped for an hour for breakfast. We grabbed some delicious food from a bakery and walked around a while before getting on the bus again and heading back to Bath.

      Once we got back we returned to our room and rested for a while before going out and grabbing dinner using our favourite cheap meal app (not from Gregg's this time!)

      Cya in Scotland!

      Explore Frome's medievil street & river

      4 Julai 2023, England ⋅ 🌧 15 °C

      Walking down Catherine Hill and then up "Cheap Street" where the drain still exists in this medievil street its hard to imagine what it must have been like all those years ago back to the 16th Century when Kind Henry the third was here and trading??

      The rain has cooled th hiings down a bit making it very pleasant to walk today so I'm going to follow the river path on the Frome Walkway.      Baca lagi

      Glastonbury, Chedder and Nunney Castle

      14 Julai 2023, England ⋅ 🌬 18 °C

      In the pouring rain we, Carey my new friend from frome and I, got soaked through while meandering along Glastonbury streets. I had wanted to go in to explore the Abbey, however at a 12 pound price tag, I decided to forego the drippy pleasure, instead browsing the Abbey shop. It was full of Arthurian treasures, swords, t shirts, miniature knights, fairies etc ...here is a link https://www.glastonburyabbey.com/glastonbury-ab…

      I just don't have space to pack lots of paraphernalia.... We wandered up along streets and alley ways, found a vegan cafe for lunch, then back to the car onward to Chedder.

      What an amazing gorge and contrast to the commercialisation in Glastonbury. We saw the cheese factory and viewed from the dry shelter of the car..grateful for it.

      On the way home Carey suddenly decided we weren't finished yet and, making a speedy left turn, we were on our way to Nunney castle, a beautiful 1300s built castle complete with moat. Just the thing little girls and boys dream of where to imagine being princesses and knights.      Baca lagi

      Shearwater Lake Wiltshire

      13 Julai 2023, England ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      Today Carey picked me up from home and took me to see Shearwater lake based on the acreage of the family Longleat. Carey told me that "old Lord Longleat" had let the place run down a bit and would give anything to anyone who asked. Since he passed apparently his son has taken it over and really ramped it up to make money. The lake is very tranquil and apparently has a plug with which to empty it??

      Shearwater is a man-made freshwater lake near Crockerton village, about 2+1⁄4 miles southwest of the town of Warminster in Wiltshire, England. The lake is formed from a tributary of the River Wylye. It is within the Longleat Estate and is one of five lakes of various sizes. (From Wikipedia).

      It is just beautiful, a tranquil lake surrounded by forest. Carey was to tell me she has been describing me to her friends as " a warm comfortable cushion to sit on" 🤣 I have been told I'm a lot of things but this takes the ticket!! Made me laugh and be very delighted!      Baca lagi

      Stourhead (Pride and Prejudice location

      7 Julai 2023, England ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

      Today my new friend Carey drove me to Stourhead. Some of these stately homes are only reachable by car, so it was very kind of her to offer to take me. I think she enjoyed the trip out as well.

      It was wonderful, the day was perfect for wandering around an old estate which is still lived in by one of the original family members, who apparently just cordoned off the kitchen while guests pile through her very elaborate home. It is just stunning, the effort that went into it's conception is incredible, back in the 1770s. The original family member Mr Hoare, having travelled extensively in Europe came home to England and commissioned it.

      The furniture is original as well!! The place has been used in various tv movies, series the most famous being Pride and Prejudice      Baca lagi

      Frome Sunday Market !!

      2 Julai 2023, England ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

      So before I could go out today to the Sunday market, I made my intent to clean up the house. the rubbish, food scraps and paper cans and bottles had to go out for tomorrow morning, all in Separate containers!! We in Rotorua have a lot to learn!! So out came the vacuum cleaner, dusters and mops as well . So domesticated!!

      I made a big mistake by putting the plug down in the bathroom sink, and now can't move it up again!! Oh dear..so now I don't have a bathroom sink to use! And does anybody know how to get black marks off the bottom of a pot?? I left rice in it overnight and the bottom has dark chunks in it!! Who knew rice could do that?

      Housework done ..then I over watered one plant so had to do a quick clean up job there... The plant was on top of the piano so I did panic a wee bit that the piano may be ruined but on investigating, the water had only dripped down the outside, the cat was loving it!

      Housework done it was time to grab my walking poles and out the door to walk down that amazing hill to the town centre.

      Phew!! An amazing turn out for the Frome market today. One could hardly move at times, the streets really humming with crowds, no, throngs, of folk making their way down Catherine's street to the market place at the bottom of the hill.

      ....it was very slow, arduous going on the cobbled street, made especially more hazardous by dogs on leashes moving away from their owners... Prams for one and prams for two, ...families walking side by side...holding hands stopping for a kiss or two or to browse at yet another stall. Phew, what a triumph for this wee town,

      There were stalls of crafts, jewellery, paintings, prints, t towels, carry bags, smoked stuff, baked stuff, pickles jams, wooden things, everything and more ... International food stalls, and shops quite quirky, all touting for business. Dogs barking, fighting, babies calling out, older children excited, teens excited, mums xnd dad's exorting children to be patient!! It was very very busy!

      I was glad to get home and try some of the vegan food delicacies I had bought and enjoy some quiet time. Leaving through my journey so far, I became nostalgic for my Spanish Camino and looked back on the stamps I had gained and some photos and videos... I hope everyone enjoys. Xx❤️💖      Baca lagi

      75ème étape ~ Bath (jour 2)

      17 Oktober 2022, England ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      Nous profitons d’une deuxième journée à Bath pour aller nous détendre aux bains thermaux.
      Il s’agit des seuls sources d’eaux chaudes naturelles d’Angleterre.
      Les photos n’y étaient pas autorisées malheureusement. 😣
      Petit rafraîchissement capillaire et barbaire pour Florian.
      Puis nous nous sommes baladés et avons mangé note pic-nic sur une superbe place accompagné d’un trompettiste.      Baca lagi
