Twenty-six

Well, I am now officially twenty-six. I had a couple of nights in Glastonbury to celebrate; we went to Wells, Chedder Gorge and walked up to Glastonbury Tor. It was very nice, although the walk up to the Tor just prior to last Saturday’s gales was less pleasant than my first trip up on a beautiful sunny day with Dad many years ago… We both had a day off for my birthday. I got some lovely things; funky wellies, Mr Benn and Trapdoor on DVD, PJs, chocs, bath smellies, gardening tools, capitalist tender and a bottle of 12 year old Glenfiddich (which made me feel even older). We had hoped to go to Clovelly, but when we arrived we found that you can now only enter the village after paying £5.50 (each in summer, for two in winter), which seemed a daft price and as we only had an hour or so we went and walked for free with Ferris at Instow. In the evening we had a nice meal at the local, the Jack Russell. The next day was even more celebratory as Chaney was wheeled out of the White House followed closely by Bush. Obama seems to be doing pretty darn well so far, so it is exciting times to live in! |
Oh, to be twenty six! Belated happy birthday, sounds like you had a good time.
