On the road at 8am to Bath this morning, it was funny to see it in the wet as it gave a completely different slant than when we visited there in 2007 with Matt and Michelle on a sunny hot day!
Went through the old baths- very interesting to go through, the water there is contaminated so cant touch it tho- there are swimming baths down the road.
Then on to Glastonbury to see the amazing ruins of the abby there where King Arthur is meant to be buried. It is in good nick for a ruin and it was really interesting to walk through. The abbotts kitchen had sun light pouring in through the lead light windows and the staff in traditional dress gave it a very authentic feeling.
We walked around the streets after and boy are there some freaky alternative lifestylers living there- see the girls in pink in the photo today- and they were the mild ones. Bet they all smoke a bit of hooch at the Glastonebury festival when its on!
Then we drove to somewhere?? for a stop to have devonshire teas and scones with cream and jam- was yummy! Back on the bus and its pouring again!
Into Plymouth the naval port to our hotel and its a 2 night stay which is great. We had a yucky interconnecting room right in front of all the lifts so decided this time to go and ask to be moved if a room was free- the staff were lovely and moved us from the 3rd to the top- 8th floor and on a hallway of our own, facing the port this time- great. So well looked after- especially when you are on your honeymoon after 23 years!!!!

Home Show last weekend, we had visitors who had been there and they were wading around with water up to their ankles, no fun really.
Had a coffee at Accidental Cafe the other day and there was this young girl there who looked very familiar to me, our eyes locked!!! and I said 'I know you' she said 'why yes you do'. It was Emma, I had to ask her real name coz I had been introduced to her as 't@#!%ts' ......
And thats about it from me but I do agree with your family about the Blarney Stone, splutter splutter, yuk, I am pleased you didn't kiss it Denise.
Imagine all the old men with decaying teeth who have kissed it before you!!!!
