Still southern England: Wells, Oxford, Cornwall

 The second half of our time in Southern England we visited Wells, Oxford, Glastonbury, Portland, Cornwall, Cheddar and other places too many to name.  Wells is the location were they raise the Queen's swans, Oxford of course has the oldest university in England which has 39 different colleges.  Glastonbury (fairy land) is full of mystical shops and activities.  However, returning back to our village of Nether Compton every night was the best thing we did.  In our village, people rode horses every day on the tiny road.  On our daily walks on their "Pathways" we talked to villagers tending their gardens and they shared interesting things about Nether Compton.

  1. Okay, I gotta ask? Did you have a meat pie, some bangers for breakfast or fish n chips? We had the latter two but passed on the pie! Loved our fish and chips, those brits can make some french fries! Thanks for letting me come along on your journey, I sure am having fun!
