New camera for the abbey?
bingothehuttbingothehutt on 22nd Aug 2010
Does anyone have any idea when or if they're going to put the new camera or new feed on the abbey view? I enjoy being able to full-screen the Market Place, High Street and the Tor, (when it's available), and would love to have that for the Abbey. Plus, I can watch it in any browser instead of having to use Safari. A great day to all!

Lens cleaning....
HeyokaHeyoka on 18th Jul 2010
If I were to fly across and take up residence in Avalon, would I be able to get an employment position cleaning the lenses of the webcams? I don't eat much, I'm just a little guy, and I don't need much room to sleep in... my Lady as well. Oh, and room for Merlyn the cat too...

Ready, but nothing seems to happen
HeyokaHeyoka on 18th Jun 2010
Okay. The little screen is black, the letters in the corner are telling me Connecting to Media, then it goes Ready and then nothing happens. *sigh* How DOES one get their Avalon fix when this keeps happening? Oh bother...

More digital weirdness...
HeyokaHeyoka on 9th Jun 2010
Apologies for the double posting, and it would seem, about an hour later, that the light source has moved. Photo or video shoot of some sort perhaps? Just curious. Blessings all.

Curiouser and curiouser...
HeyokaHeyoka on 9th Jun 2010
Okay, here's a question. It's 2:03am, I'm looking at the Abbey, and it looks as if there's a car(!?) in the Abbey grounds, extremely bright lights, but not square or even, as if not on level ground, and it appears the camera has been moved, albeit slightly.... This is as bright and bizarre as anything I've seen so far. Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

What exactly is that?
HeyokaHeyoka on 2nd Jun 2010
Okay ladies and gents... it's 2:10am, Glastonbury time, and there's some sort of amazingly bright light in the upper right quarter of the screen, looks very "divine" to say the least, and I have to wonder if there's some sort of special lighting thing going on.

Little bug...
HeyokaHeyoka on 29th May 2010
Ummmm, is it my imagination or is the little creature back? Either that or there is something leaning against the wall of the Chapel. Hmmm. Intriguing.

Blessings and a million thanks to the wonderful soul(s) responsible for cleaning the lens of the webcam!!! Hurrah!!! Hopefully the little critter was transplanted to somewhere a little more acceptable. At any rate, again... Yay for you!!!

I'll second that... Windex anyone?
HeyokaHeyoka on 14th Apr 2010
Greetings Avalon. Yes indeed bingo, the little thing in the lower right has become increasingly solid over the months, and as much as I would love to watch the little character's growth, it may be time to move him along. As well as the now forming spider web. Mmmmm, yummy, there's a fly in the upper screen. Anyone got a ladder and a rag?

A brief history of Glastonbury Abbey

Once the most important abbey in England, Glastonbury is a magnificent ruin, testament to the ruthless dissolution of monastic life by King Henry VIII in the 16th Century. The abbey was already established as a place of Christian importance when the Saxon king, Ine of Wessex, directed that in 712AD a stone church should be built, the foundations of which now form the west end of the nave of the Abbey. Although the Danes sacked Glastonbury in the 9th Century, it rose up again under the auspices of Saint Neot. The Abbot of Glastonbury, Saint Dunstan, enlarged the Abbey church in the 10th Century. Saint Dunstan was a central figure in the 10th Century revival of monastic life, who instigated Benedictine Rule at the Abbey before going on to become Archbishop of Canterbury in 960AD. Dunstan built the new cloisters, and the Abbey began to take on the grandeur fit for the burial of kings and as a central seat of monastic life.

Within a few years of Henry's dissolution of the monasteries, the Abbey at Glastonbury was a ruin, being described by Shakespeare as one of the "bare ruin'd choirs where late the sweet birds sang." Its imposing ruins still stand today, and still draw visitors - and pilgrims - from across the globe. Even though its buildings no longer mark it as a holy place, its myths, legends and ancient history still strike a chord with everyone who walks though its magnificent grounds.
