DAY 281


Tuesday 17 April 2012

We said goodbye to Mary, Nigel and the pets.
Salisbury Cathedral
The day that would have been Uncle Tim’s birthday started with the Happy Trails Gang getting up early to say goodbye to Nigel before he left for work.  It was a blustery, rainy day but the sun kept making valiant efforts to shine through.  We said goodbye to Mary at about 12:30 and headed for Salisbury Cathedral where Nicole’s choir had performed the year before. (A quick homage to the saltiness of perfectly proper Mary was the story she told of the unruly star Nigel’s film company had to bend over backwards for on a recent shoot. When the line producer, who was standing next to the star asked Mary, “Have you met our star yet?” Mary sweetly said “No.” and kept walking.


Salisbury Cathedral was gorgeous and when we mentioned Nicole’s performance there the docent said to have a look around (without paying for tickets). We saw the Magna Carta – one of four in existence. Just after seeing a rainbow we arrived at Ina and Ravi’s house in Glastonbury. A wonderful gathering of Ina’s sons Richard and Chris plus Ina, Ravi, Nicole, Charles and Dian enjoyed Ravi’s mushroom pasta and home brewed Irish stout. We had a song fest until 10PM then crashed in "Avalon."
