Not so Boring












It was a 4* Bore, not the most spectacular but not bad. About 1 mtr high as it was pulled up the Severn by the rotation of the moon - how special is that! A few kayakers & surfers slightly misjudged the wave and missed their ride but the Minsterworth village hall group did a great job with parking and breakie at the site - all power to their elbow. The vid doesn't quite do it justice 'cos of the light and the camera angle, but you can see from the before & after shot of the far bank the sudden rise in the hight of the Severn.

Marion @ 30


As Dad hits 60 daughter hits 30 – how synchronised is that :)

We returned to the Metrop for lunch at a great little Turkish restaurant just off Baker Street (fond memories of Gerry Rafferty) then on to the Albert Hall for Cirque de Soleil and Totem – magnificent.

Marion is off on a birthday road trip, first stop Edinburgh to stay with friends then off to Belgium for a joint birthday celebration with friends she met whilst working in Rwanda, then Germany via Carlisle

Valentines by the Tor

Yes, another Landmark Trust - it's a great way to celebrate togetherness.


An impressive place the Parish House @ Boltonsborough, not far from Glastonbury and in the shaddow of the Tor. Built in about 1500, on the edge of the churchyard, it has long served the village of Baltonsborough for meetings and festivals, both formal and convivial.

The wooden floors and beamed arched roof are amazing.
