Day Trip To Wells June 6, 2010
Posted by tiffany in : Bath , trackbackYesterday we went with our host, Rob, to Wells, a town south of Bath. We also accompanied him to some reclamation stores in that area. We also drove through Glastonbury which is an interesting town to say the least.
Well’s cathedral was lovely. There’s a cathedral that is the biggest one I have ever seen! You could probably fit Notre Dom in the entrance hall. Next to the cathedral there is the Bishop’s Palace. It was beautiful but it makes me wonder why the Bishop would need a mote and huge walls with slits in them for firing a weapon. Inside the Palace walls there is a green space that two men were playing Crochet.
We tried Tiffin yesterday for the first time (I don’t remember ever having it before). It was delicious! We bought it right outside the Cathedral where there were many stalls selling locally made goods.
Rob was looking for six somethings that are interesting to make the legs to the island unit that is going into their kitchen, so we all basically went through tons of reclaimed items, imagining what they could become. At one reclamation shop there was an old CCCP (Soviet) Army tank that we had to take pictures with using chris’ phone (we’d forgotten our cameras ). There were also many other decommissioned Army effects such as the shells of missiles and funny little armored cars. A different place had nearly enough parts of different churches to make a whole new one. Pews and all. It was very interesting to see!
Driving through Glastonbury is a lot funner than most places. The residents there have used the fact that their town is thought to have once been Avalon, home of King Author, so they dress the part and set up shops with funny names (such as Lancelot’s Windows and Doors). They dress like they were extras in the Harry Potter movies with the cone-shaped hats with stars on them and robes. They have really found their niche!
