Snapshots from a Somerset weekend

Just wanted to share a few moments with you from my fabulous weekend visiting with US cousins in Somerset... My life is so hectic at the moment who knows when I'll be able to do a proper post!

So these are all taken with my iPhone (I'm writing this while on the train, will post it next time I get wifi access). Photos are (I can't write in between them when posting from phone):
  • In Montacute House with my cousins Mary and Kristy waiting for the wedding.
  • The church in Montacute where the religious service took place.
  • Visiting the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey.
  • Goofing off (unavoidable!).
  • Saying goodbye to our National Trust owned Stembridge Cottage and Windmill (our lodgings for the weekend).
  • Hanging out with Queen Bess in St Mary Redcliff church in Bristol. Plus views of the church in and out. One of the most beautiful churches I've ever seen!
  • And me and Pol saying goodbye to Bristol as I write this on the airport shuttle... which has WiFi!!!

    1. Don't I just?! It's a pity I didn't think to have someone take a full body photo of me with the phone, you could have seen the complete effect with the dress... that will just have to wait for future posting! Plenty to share from this trip!!! But I am running behind on 2 hikes so... and it's World Oceans Day soon!!! *sigh* So many posts, so little time! :p

    1. It was definitely a lovely church for the wedding ceremony, and had quite a bit of "atmosphere". But the two large Gothic churches I saw in Bristol really "wowed" me!

  3. Love the hats. Looked as though you didn't stop for breath over the weekend.

    1. Breathe? What's that??? ;o)
      Indeed, no rest for the wicked this past weekend! It's a good thing the beds in that Cottage were comfortable! :o)

      I loved ALL the hats at the wedding! Seeing all that was a lot of fun! My cousins got to go to a hat shop earlier in the week and try on a whole bunch to see which one they wanted... and apparently you can rent them! No need to buy it! Which I think is fabulous. Was all lots of FUN!
