Seems Glasto has not had hardly as much snow as us here in Bucks. Our paths and pavements still have about 5 inches of snow and the fields are like a Christmas card. Schools are closed, roads treacherous. Doesn't Spring seem a long way off?
How come my name appears here, Triffiks? How can you have had the twelve days of Christmas by Dec 27th? Something not right here, gobbledegook postings that have no significance to anyone else reading them and that is NOT the purpose of this Forum. - posters should think carefully before writing off Forum to e-mail addresses from folks they dont know. Dont get sucked into someone's fantasy world.

It is not possible to stream the webcams at same speed, it is very irritating when looking at Glastonbury Market Place webcam and Glastonbury High street webcam at same time ??
It is obvious, that the pictures are several seconds out of step, you can see cars coming round the courner and up the High Street, and then seconds later you see the same cars coming on Market Place webcam towards the corner.
So the camaraes are not showing in real Realtime.
watching bthe frost fair today. My friend said shed be selling mistletoe today. Oh God I wish I were there lurcherlass!! Poss vist mid jan but the times dragging.
British at Heart, Yes, the notion is actually older that Mr. Capt's work, and I'm not sure but I think the fellow who inspired him was Scottish. I forget his name now, but then could be mistaken. Anyway, yes the theory is that Joseph of A. brought Jesus to Britain as a boy during a trip to the Mendips as a metal merchant. They claim that is why Joseph allegedly returned to the area of Glastonbury after the Crucifixion, because he was familiar with the area. Very interesting stuff really. I've been researching this and other "traditions" of Glastonbury for several years now. Good hunting! I think you'll enjoy it.
Thank you bingothehutt I'll definetly look into this. I did some research and found a lot of info based on the hymn Jerusalem. The article I read led me to beleive that this was a sort of documentery based on the theory that Jesus actually lived and studied in Glastonbury. It was a group of Scottish researchers that put it together. It could have been an old article. I have ancient rellies from Glastonbury and have been trying to learn as much as possible about the area.
p.s., Love the Christmas tree!
Hi! If I understand correctly, the video you're looking for is the DVD presentation of Raymond Capt's book "Traditions of Glastonbury". Here's the link for it on amazon. (If you're in another country, it will at least give you a direction in which to look). It really is a great video! It used to be on YouTube, but they took it down since it's copyrighted.

Good luck! Hope it helps.
Hi,
Just wanted to ask if anyone had info on the movie, "And did These Feet", a movie about Jesus supposedly living in Glasto around the time of Joseph of Arimethea's visit? It's suppose to be released today in London. Would love to see it. Thanks
Glastonbury had a brief role to play in the Battle of Sedgemoor in 1685. The Bloody Assizes still casts a shadow over the whole area. Of the 29 local men who joined the Duke of Monmouth's ill-fated rebellion against the crown, six were hanged from the sign of the White Hart Inn, near to the Assembly rooms. Their hanging bodies can still sometimes be seen. The Sedgemoor battlefield is one of England's most famous haunted locations, but a smaller skirmish took place on the way to Sedgemoor in what is today a playing field. The cries of battle can still be heard on this field.
The ghostly sound of marching troops has been heard along Glastonbury High Street, sometimes making the very ground shake. However, this ghostly procession seems more tuned to the young men who marched off to die in the trenches of the First World War, rather than troops from the Civil War era.
Individual houses also have their resident ghosts, with one cheeky spectre often helping himself to the contents of the kitchen refrigerator in Roman Way. Even beloved pet cats and dogs are said to haunt their own homes in Glastonbury.
