Day 30 Part 1 - Signs

Sister Annverena, a member of the Companions of Jesus the Good Shepherd in Oxfordshire, joined me for breakfast at Glastonbury's Abbey House. We compared stories of walking alone through France, she having walked from Dieppe to Paris many years ago.

We were soon joined by Janet and Ann, members of the Diocese of Exeter's Mothers' Union, whose annual retreat was concluding.

It was a jolly breakfast, no fry-up but lots of toast, Weetabix and lovely prunes.

I tried typing notes on my bluetooth keyboard but alas, I think it's broken for good. It's made of a brittle plastic and just not tough enough. A great gadget but not up to the job.

Glastonbury has one of my favourite signs. Carved into the wall next to a drinking fountain by the Methodist Church is this gem: "PUBLIC NOTICE - COMMIT NO NUISANCE".

It's so gloriously vague I reckon the chosen wording was the culmination of interminable committee meetings. I wonder if its injunction has had any effect on public order.

Another gem of a sign at the Glastonbury Pilgrim Centre: "We have moved."

It would have been nice to find out what happens in the centre but alas, it had moved off my route.
