About a month before we left Bristol, Dad and Marion came to visit us for a weekend. We toured Bristol and some of the old forests in Wales. It was very nice to introduce Dad to a couple of people, let him see how we were living and so make it all a bit closer to home. Dad likes bush walking so we visited the forest of Dean. Some of the attached photos are from there.
Vita took a photo of Tintern Abbey that appears to have the image of a face showing on the bottom right hand quarter of the image. If you have an explanation please write it in the guest book. We zoomed right in on the full resolution image and can see quite clearly that the glow in front of the abbey is a face, but cannot identify any source for the light. Spooky.
Sometimes life becomes very colourful and so it was for that weekend. On the Friday we attended the wedding of our good friends Kathleen and Eric. The wedding was in the grounds of a wonderful old castle in Wales. Well, Iīll let the pictures describe just how nice that place was. A lot of our Bristol crew were there looking very fine and having a right blast. I really miss our friends in Bristol: Sebastien, Imy, Sophie, Tom, Holly, Erik and Kathleen. Really good folk who were more than generous with their time and affections. Itīs cool that they are all odd in ways that didnīt jar with the ways that V and I are odd. A rare and beautiful meeting of oddbods. It would be nice to go back there some day soon. The only thing stopping us is the outrageous cost of living and the true horror of teaching in a British secondary.
V took some great pictures of the castle but of the ones I took, I am happy with the photo of Vita in a doorway. This was taken in the castle itself.
