Seeing the weather forecast for the rest of the week was grey, rain and wind we decided to stick close to home Thursday.

We walked from Williton, the village we are staying in, to Wathchet, the next village to the west. Its a short walk, maybe two or three km up and over the hill.

Williton lies slightly inland while Watchet is on the sea. Looking down the hill toward Wathchet we saw that many of the homes have photo voltaic cells on their roofs.
As we got to the bottom of the hill and neared the train station we noticed a bunch grown men with cameras and video cameras fixed on the rail tracks. We walked cross the rail tracks and realized the steam trains arrival, from Minehead, was imminent. What a treat!
Well, it is grey, raining and windy here too (but I'd much rather be where you are!). Enjoying the blog! Who knew the daily upkeep of a catherdral was so expensive -- bet the church still wishes for "mandatory" tithes! Smart marketing to disclose those numbers (although the analyst in me would like to have a look at them!) Guess I won't whine so much about paying to go into churches! I think the last one we paid for was in Seville! (but as they had some really interesting Art -- it didn't bother me so much!). Looking forward to reading more of your adventures!
ReplyDeleteWhat are you suggesting! The Church would not lie to us, would they?
DeleteGreat blog Ryan! Really enjoying the stories and photos.
