The Pointless Page

Great pictures, brue. We've never been to Montacute - one of those places we keep saying we really must visit. Tyntesfield is another. Must get organised! 

M, if youre down 'our way' take in Barrington Court and Lytes Cary if you haven't already.....

I went to Tyntesfield for the first time a few weeks ago, impressive! Didn't see it all so must go back (not so good with dogs unfortunately.)

Just watching the end of Glastonbury, music just right for the ending. Our son is there til tomorrow, having a VG time. 

Brue, our lad is there and back on the 6:30 (am) bus....

just watching Ed Sherin, not really my thing but OH likes this sort of pap.

Earlier, Nile Rogers (Chic), Barry Gibb (what a song writer) and (last night) the Jacksons more my thing....but i am an old fart

Something for everyone, well that's it for this year.  (Not sure whether they're taking a break next year, wonder which band M. Eavis is hoping will re-form?)

From the sublime to the ridiculous I'm jam making....overloaded with raspberries here. 

I was walking through the village today and they were putting up bunting. It's for one of those dreadful wartime weekends when they all dig out the dressing up boxes and fish out their fancy dress. I know it's each to their own but it all seems pretty pointless to me. This year the organisers have plumbed new depths. They're advertising a musical evening in the church hall, it's title "A night at the blitz". 

I wonder how many of those who lived through the horrors would have regarded it as family entertainment?

Rant over I'll get my pretend tin hat and toddle along to my pretend air raid shelter.

ps. A pal of mine observed that you won't see many squaddies, they're all dresssed up as officers.

I think there are worse things than dressing up in 1940s war time gear. Our friends fancied joining a rally, the first one on the list was "Me Tarzan, You Jane" they chickened out....

One of today's jobs, picking fruit. Life's just a bowl of cherries....

Agree, two beautiful places, with stunning gardens.

It's something I can never understand. Most people that seem to attend such things won't remember the war anyway. Oh dash I mentioned the war, lets hope I got away with it.
