Jamie123 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) Yesterday my wife and I came back from a long weekend away in Glastonbury. (I'm talking about the town, not the rock festival. That's not until summer anyway.) We had a wonderful time - even the car breaking down on the way home didn't spoil it (much)! One of the best things we did there was to visit the Chalice Well, which was one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I've ever been. If you're ever there, be sure to spend a few minutes (or longer) just sitting quietly in the sanctuary at the well-head. It's wonderful :) [sorry - I meant to post this under "general discussion".] Edited May 11, 2009 by Jamie123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like if you wanted to take a weekend trip with the spouse Paris how much would you need to save? Just the travel exspence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Churchmouse Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) My wife and I were planning a two week driving vacation of the United Kingdom when I retired, which was to be next year. Budget cuts have forced me to retire one year early. Still hope to make trip next year, but will depend on what comes along. Isn't Glastonbury near Stonehinge? We plan to be in that area near the end of our trip. Edited May 12, 2009 by Churchmouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensibility Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Oh, that does sound nice. We live in Somerset, so we're only a few miles away . . . we may have to stop by there sometime. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you live in the USA it'd be a very short distance for you in comparision to the journeys you are used to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like if you wanted to take a weekend trip with the spouse Paris how much would you need to save? Just the travel exspence.Probably the best way would be to take the Eurostar and go through the tunnel. The website is Eurostar : Tickets, Bookings, Timetables, fares and offersIsn't Glastonbury near Stonehinge? We plan to be in that area near the end of our trip.Quite near-ish. We went past Stonehenge on the way. It's strange - I've lived in England nearly all my life, but that was the first time I ever saw it. It is pretty awesome.Is that off of Egarley Road?Yes - the A361. It's right at the foot of Glastonbury Tor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
