The New World of Lonnie Mandigo

(2022.10.04, Tuesday) Spent the (extended) day going home.  Cab from Thornbury to Heathrow.  Coach class from Heathrow to Denver.  First class from Denver to Eugene.  It was long but not bad.  Fairly uneventful.  Not many pictures. My plane to Eugene; parked at the Denver airport.

(2022.10.03, Monday) Monday, Emma and I headed toward Glastonbury. Culturally, Glastonbury is somewhat west of a line that runs from Eugene, through Black Rock City, and then on to Sedona.  It was fun.  After that, we headed toward Wells, where we stumbled across one of the coolest finds of the trip.  We tried to drive back through the Cheddar Gorge, but it was closed for some reason. The Glastonbury Abbey .  We didn't go in, but the ruins above the wall were pretty interesting to look at.

(2022.10.02, Sunday) On Sunday we went to a pub for a traditional Sunday roast. I'm glad it worked out. I was afraid I might not get a chance.  After that, we wandered toward the Cotswolds.  There wasn't much of a plan and we weren't in much of a hurry.  It was great that along the way we found an interesting place that Ian and Emma had never been to before. Sunday roast at the Swan Inn .  I chose the lamb shank.

(2022.10.01, Saturday) In the morning, Emma and I went to the Westonbirt Arboretum .  It's one of their favorite places and I always enjoy going there.  That evening Ian and I participated in a murder mystery.  It's an activity that was held in a nearby community center.  It was very fun.  Our friend Sheelagh authored it. Chestnuts in Westonbirt

 (2022.09.30, Friday) Left Penzance and returned to Thornbury today.  Cornwall was wonderful to visit.  I would definitely visit again. Flower of the day.
