Sandwich is tiny, but as we all know, good things come in small packages! It’s hard to believe that it used to be one of the four biggest towns in England. It is so quaint and still looks medieval. I guess you could thus say it looks quite modern seeing the Saxons had it up and running in 600AD. To be honest though, the Romans were probably their first having landed very close by earlier on. Later, it was given to some monks. Aside from me, other impressive visitors have been: Thomas a Becket and Richard The Lionheart. It was mentioned in The Doomsday Book and yes, sandwiches were invented there.
Went to Todd’s zoo and played with animals in the morning though with the weather so horrid, we were limited. Animals don’t like the cold rain. And why would you? Especially if you come from down south like most of them do(I know how they feel!)
Off then to Somerset to see Judy and the wonderful team at The Manor House. Lovely, lovely people and gorgeous, gorgeous country. The following day I was given the wonderful opportunity to ride Susie’s mare across the Mendip Hills. You can see right across to the mythical Glastonbury Tor. This is the place of legends. Pagans, Druids, Avalon, sacred initiations, Jesus, hidden sacred texts, The Holy Grail, King Arthur, high energy vortexes. The list is endless. One thing is certain though, it is a place like no other! It’s calming me down after the craziness of my London move!
Tip/lesson of the day: The journey inward is more important than any outward journey (thanks Susie for the reminder!) oh….and watch Avatar!!!
