Day Sixteen - unexpected adventures with crystals

[byslantedlight]

I thought there was going to be no photo today, cos I'm unexpectedly wireless-less in my Glastonbury B&B, and so I'm on my mobile, but for some reason lj wouldn't upload directly to a post, I had to go halfway around the moon to get to the sun... But I made it! Which has been a bit of a theme of the day really... But first the pic - my bed for tonight! Better pics tomorrow I hope when I suss out a connection...

So - today was going to be Stonehenge and Woodhenge and general Salisbury Plain-ness - until I found out that Stonehenge is now all pre-booked advance admissions only, and there was nothing left to book. Waaaaah - they've stolen my Stonehenge!

So when the girl whose bike had broken down on her way cycling to a course in Avoncliffe hadn't been able to work out how to get there, I said I'd give her a lift. Well, why not? So then it turned out that her course was about working with crystals, and she said "There are places left if you want to come" I thought well... And then I thought well! Cos how often do you go on a random crystal course? So I did, and it was actually pretty interesting and cool. The leader was good too, and open about which bits she believed and which she didn't, and wasn't trying to sell extra stuff - she was genuine about it all.

So then I was going to take Girl to train station to take her home, but jokingly said "Unless you fancy coming to Glastonbury..." And it turned out that she did, so we went down all the wrong roads until we got here. *g* Then the hostel turned out to be full, and so did other non-expensive places, and I was a bit worried about finding her something, but then we came to a place where not only were they vegan (as she is) but the landlady had worked with Native Americans which Girl had said was one of her current interests - so that worked out well!

And now here I am ready to go to bed in my gorgeous four poster bed - my first one ever! And I have the second Joanne Chambers book to read... *g*

Sounds like you're having some really interesting adventures out there in the big wide world. :-)

I love how you are just following your nose on this holiday, and going wherever the wind takes you. And that bed looks lush - hope you had a lovely sleep!

Oh, I slept well ! It was soft and cosy and totally, totally lush... As are adventures where-the-wind-blows holidays!

You could really write an adventure story out of this holiday! Necessarily including the description of this bed - it looks very cloak-and-dagger :)

Her - I can think of all sorts of things that might happen in that bed between two cloak and dagger types (you know, like our lads.... *g* if I could just write them... *g*

Wow - random crystal course AND a four-poster bed! Bummer about Stonehenge, though. I wonder how many others have been turned away because of the change?

I should really have checked about Stonehenge, but it didn't occur to me access might be that restricted... I'm still hoping I'll turn up one day and find out that I can get in really...

But I would never have had random crystal course without it, so its not all bad!
