THE GODDESS GATHER

Friday night at the end of the Goddess gathering and the annual bonfire to celebrate IMBLOCK one of the old pagan days. It's great fun and they gather in the field at the bottom of the garden. There is a large bonfire which they dance around, then sing songs around, Very Glastonbury.

I like all this its good for the town and our shops. We are in the middle now of all the different groups who come here.

The garden is looking very clean and tidy. C, as I have said does not like it but the visitors will, I hope. Must raise lot's of dosh for the kids. Next week is Extravaganza in the Abbey with Status Quo on Saturday and the LPO and classics on Sunday. After four years in the chair and not seeing friends we have asked our close friends for supper, we can hear every thing very clearly from the garden and see the fireworks to. But we kick off next week end with the Conservation Society and friends drinks part on Friday night so lets hope for good weather.

Worked with a young Reggie today (every one in his family seems to be called Reggie) in setting up two web sites. the first one is for my charity http://www.teamsomerset500club.co.uk/ the second one is to update http://www.coombehouse.org/. I have to hand it to these little wonder kittens they just seem to go to it. I take ages working out how and where. The end results will soon be there for all to see.

Well its finial stages in getting the garden to look like something out of Wolverhampton Parks Dept. C hates it and wants it all rough and tumble. If you are going to visit us on Sunday remember PARK IN THE TOWN and get the free shuttle bus from the Town Hall car park.

Nick is doing the Teas and very good they are. I am hoping he has the chocolate cake, Shelagh has a plant stall, she has been potting for months. There are lots to see and if the sun shines I hope lots of dosh for the charity. Finn has cut the lawn nice and tight, C had the hebby jebbies that it was to short, but it greened up. Me I went down the garden and picked plumbs, they are called CZAR, for me and the sister to put down in Brandy for Christmas. There were loads there so left some for the birds, badgers and squirrels. I am a little old softy really.

I have been somewhat under the weather over the last few days, never eat rolls filled with a chicken mixture unless you make them yourself. I was not well going and returning from Plymouth and have been rough ever since. lost no weight though

Goodbye Harry

Goodbye Harry those of us who knew you will wish you well on the journey you have now taken. The nightmares have gone and only the sweet sound of the Nightingale is heard.

Plymouth

Just back from the home of wonder kitten Tom Daley, that boy's achievements will add some £10M to the economy of that city, but fear not we have some Tom Daley's rising up through Team Somerset's 500 Club elite athletes. How can I make a statement like that , well when Hull was promoted to the Premier Football division, a leading London stock broker who specialises in forecasting made that statement and the media mention Plymouth every time they mention Tom Daley. Now you know why I want to win Gold in SW in Bloom it will add all of 3/6d to our economy but £1M to the feel good factor.

Why you ask was I there? well it was for the launch of the Blue Mile their new healthy get fit scheme. It was good and no expense seemed to be spared to ensure the 50 odd very unfit worthies were well looked after. There were some super fit bronzed types there and very good they looked to but well now I am a Snr citizen I look back and think if only. I do find it strange that all these sports set ups have their fair share of dare I say fatties like me.

Plymouth is very much a tottie town for both persuasion. well it has a Uni. so what more can you say. although the great unrequited love of my life is off to S'hampton, ah well there are holidays so I shall get my fill of lusting.

I tried to take a photo of the start of the Blue mile but made a pigs ear of it so you will have to put up with this one of me. I got caught out on a full moon again

Well I promise you it was sheer luck but as the Judges from Mendip in Bloom arrived so did the sun. We walked round the town and visited the many courtyards which look fantastic. we also walked down Dygon Allie ( The Gauntlet ), I expected to see Mrs Weesley popping out of shop followed by Ron or Harry with Hermonie close behind. Glastonbury does look good and it's a testimony to every one young and old that the flowers are as good as they are.

The Big freeze descended on County Hall. Freeze Freeze Freeze. I can only guess that the rhetoric is good but can the action be obtained.

PACT meeting tonight . Very good lots of sensible comments. People complain about Glastonbury but it has a very LOW crime rate. They should live in lets say Croydon. They might see things in a different light.

We went a judging. Town one it rained. Town two it rained. Glastonbury it was dry. Town three it rained. now I don't control the weather it was just shere luck that Glastonbury was dry. I took Christine back to her home town and it rained but by the time I got back to Glastonbury it was dry for all of 30mins. then it rained. where does it all come from. Finn fed the lawn yesterday so the rain was welcome, but come on there is a limit. we saw lots of nice gardens, pubs, Town halls, ect. ect. now we have to await the other judges results and all will be reveled in September.

Well its the second full council of the new regime tomorrow. I am interested to see how we go.
