Wells
This morning Graham and Christine (old family friends of the Eads) joined us for breakfast. It was a full house with Nicky, Ben and Abigail also staying. Poor Ben was all upset when he had to go off to school. Must have felt like he was missing out on all the fun. We headed over to Wells markets and wandered over to feed the ducks and swans in the moat. I never get tired of visiting Wells Cathedral. It's so pretty. It was freezing again today and I thought for sure ...

Think we're over the jet ...
Contrasts.

Like the fact the clergy gets more expose on a range of issues than we'd ever see in Australia. What to do with any Olympic funds left over? Lets see what the Vicar thinks? In less than a week I've twice seen religious leaders on TV holding forth on what was clearly political matters. The BBC has ...
