This morning I felt well treated as I slept through the night for the first time since arrival in England. After breakfast, we walked down to the coach and began the coach ride. To Glastonbury. We set out slightly later than I had hoped we would but I decided to proceed with the day my way anyhow!! So we were dropped near the Roman bridge ask began the walk over Wearyall Hill and in to town and the abbey. I was disappointed that the abbey staff insisted on guidin...

I tried to sort out my email from Holland Park only to find the kids had used up all the Internet card money the night before!

I have taken lots of photos .... to bore you all!! The students appea...

It cost us 30 minutes in a queue but I was unphased and chatted to a lovely American woman ahead of me. She is a Christian and used to run student exchange programmes before she retired and had done a mission trip in Africa. The nau...
