Did Jesus Drink Here?

Sorry I'm a bit behind but it seems electricity sockets and wifi are in short supply up here in Scotland!

Anyway....the journey continues........

Wednesday saw me meet up with Serena in Glastonbury for the start of our road trip. Thelma and Louise, eat your heart out! If only we could now just find Brad Pitt. Serena's married, so I guess that leaves him all for me! :-) I love Glastonbury. Maybe it's because I resonate with the weirdos that inhabit the place. But then, even I'm not that weird. I love the energy and I love the shops. Me and anything "new age". What can I say? (and they have a brilliant health food shop....lots of raw goodies. Sorry all you normaltons, I just had to throw that in!). We went to The Chalice Well and drank the supposed healing waters (a bit like Bath). Legend says that Jesus drank here and planted the nearby thorn bush. Joseph of Arimathea also hung out here, and you can bet your bottom dollar that King Arthur had a swig or two from the well also. Basically, it was the place to be. We drank a couple of bottles of the water which is supposed to link one to the devine feminine...if you're a Pagan (The nearby Thor being the male aspect), so we were complete goddesses by the time we left! We then marched up the hill to The Thor to balance ourselves out. It's always sooooo windy up there, but the views are wonderful. Love watching everyone partake in their rituals too. Good people-watching.

Next it was onto Serena's in Wiltshire, change cars around a bit then off to that bit of the UK that sticks out up the top.

Magical Mendip Hills

Sandwich is tiny, but as we all know, good things come in small packages! It's hard to believe that it used to be one of the four biggest towns in England. It is so quaint and still looks medieval. I guess you could thus say it looks quite modern seeing the Saxons had it up and running in 600AD. To be honest though, the Romans were probably their first having landed very close by earlier on. Later, it was given to some monks. Aside from me, other impressive visitors have been: Thomas a Becket and Richard The Lionheart. It was mentioned in The Doomsday Book and yes, sandwiches were invented there.

Went to Todd's zoo and played with animals in the morning though with the weather so horrid, we were limited. Animals don't like the cold rain. And why would you? Especially if you come from down south like most of them do(I know how they feel!)

Off then to Somerset to see Judy and the wonderful team at The Manor House. Lovely, lovely people and gorgeous, gorgeous country. The following day I was given the wonderful opportunity to ride Susie's mare across the Mendip Hills. You can see right across to the mythical Glastonbury Tor. This is the place of legends. Pagans, Druids, Avalon, sacred initiations, Jesus, hidden sacred texts, The Holy Grail, King Arthur, high energy vortexes. The list is endless. One thing is certain though, it is a place like no other! It's calming me down after the craziness of my London move!

Tip/lesson of the day: The journey inward is more important than any outward journey (thanks Susie for the reminder!) oh....and watch Avatar!!!

So Long And Thanks For All The Fish ....or spinach in my case!

Well. This is it. The day I really wasn't sure would arrive is here. Fare thee well London Town. Ok...so I'll be back in June for a little while, but really only as a visitor. My time as a Londoner finishes today. I'm not sure it has sunk in yet. I've successfully kept myself manically busy. That's always a good distraction from what's really going on! The weather is grey and miserable. Perhaps fitting for a farewell. This is as London as it gets!

Well the removalists have moved 23 (yes TWENTY THREE!!!!) boxes, approx 5 big wheelie bins are full and the car is weighed down. Where of where does all this "stuff" come from????? Is it necessary? Would it be better not to have it? Probably. I think everyone should either move or pretend to move every few years. Review life and clear out the old. Creates space for the new to come into your life. So, although farewells are sad, you can't have new beginnings without them. Keep what's important and detach from that which isn't. Learn your lessons from the events in your life but then leave the events behind and continue forward with your new wisdom.

The journey home (Oooo...I feel like I'm living out The Alchemist!) begins in Sandwich. Dinner with Todd and Kirk tonight then fun at the zoo in the morning. Bring on the adventure!

Blessings all XXX
