Thankyou Jill, how kind of you. Moving day is Friday! I am coming down on Wednesday with my 2 dogs and the men arrive on Friday with the furniture van. I have been busy today, emptying all my kitchen cupboards and giving them a good clean outside and in. I am taking a sneaky break from it all right now :D
Hi Arwen, we have been away for a few days at Lnyton just back and realised it must be very close to your moving day hope it all goes well for you and your family and that you have a safe and happy move.
Ah Sixchannel, that's what I am wondering!I'm sure at first it will seem like being permanently on holiday, but soon, I'll be going to work, cutting the lawn and shopping for groceries, just like I do now, so it will be interesting to find out if it feels the same. I am looking forward to walking up the Tor and visiting the Chalice well gardens whenever I wish, having lunch in the town, strolling round the shops and of course, being just 35 minutes drive from the sea. Yes, I think it'll be pretty magical. Blessings to you and your family
Arwen, good luck and blessings on your move to Avalon. Keep in touch and let us know how it feels to LIVE there as opposed to visiting. Is the Magic still tthe same?
Made my 10th return to Glastonbury in late June and immersed myself in the Energies for nearly 2 full weeks in this home-of-my-heart. Having these webcams helps ease the ache of longing for those of us across the Big Pond. Sunny August Blessings to All.
Ditto for me and mine,magic or magnetism,it amounts to the same I guess, its been happening in Glastonbury for centuries,its difficult to put into words,Avalon feels like home,everywhere else is just somewhere to sleep.
I know what you mean Sixchannel, after 6 years of being drawn back again and again, we are finally coming to live there, in 2 weeks time :D
I was sorry to miss Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel at the Abbey this weekend (showing my age now LOL).
We were there last weekend. This weekend was the posh "Extravaganza" weekend at the Abbey so kept away. Glasto returns to whatever passes for 'normal' there now so we shall be there again on Friday.
I wonder if its to do with some kind of 'magnetism' that keeps drawing us to the place?
Its all to do with either the cam has been switched off by the "Streamer" or more likely gone off line and needs to be re-set by Finetra. If you get that message a quick e-mail to Finetra usually fixes it.
This camera is not functioning as of....early am? UK 7/8.
Hope it returns soon. I value very much the opportunity CILive has given for us to catch up on old haunts!
Thank-you guys!
(The same 'subscription failed' notice is on the Torquay webcam. Just some feedback. Regulars miss their views of these lovely places).
Hello Mari, how exciting to be making such a long journey and visiting the UK for the first time. I'm sure you will enjoy Glastonbury, as there is so much to see and explore. Have a safe trip and don't forget to wave at the camera on the town hall! :D
That would be the annual Clifton Diocese Pilgrimage ["Catholic Pilgrimage"].
Used to be very well-attended - but due to the increasing number of wiches, pagans, etc. it now attracts (to hurl abuse at the paraders), numbers are only a fraction of what they were even ten years ago.
So much intolerance (particularly from this element) in this town.
Sad.
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.
