Entertaining

I picked Rachel Pollack up at the Tarot Association of the British Isles' conference yesterday and took her back into Glastonbury. Having crassly double booked, I then left her in town in the capable hands of T, while I went to Bristol for someone's initiation, but RP and I did manage to get some shopping done this morning.

In the local second hand bookstore, we found a lot of tarot and other decks and a Writers' Retreat Kit, consisting of a little journal and a pen, and a guide.

Me: But where's the large bottle of booze??
R: Or the razor to slit your wrists halfway through the week??

We are toying with the idea of producing a real Writers' Retreat Kit but suspect that this might be difficult to market to anywhere lacking a liquor license.

Then I took Rachel back to the station, said goodbye with great reluctance and came back into town to meet a friend's parents for lunch: they're over from the States. We went round the Abbey and took a guided tour from a Pilgrim, who had a suspiciously un-British accent (turns out this Medieval personage comes from Binghampton, in upper NY state). I have to say that he was an excellent guide.

Amd now it's raining again. The orchard is full of frogs.

Binghamton? No way! That's where I live. (or rather, that's the largest city likely to be found on a map near where I live.) And we exported a history person over to England? Cool!

Sorry about my spelling! Yes, you did, and he was a most engaging guide.
