Burnam-on-Sea

Hello all :) Well what a lovely weekend I have had! I woke up Saturday morning and decided that this cold/Flu had better leave my body, I've had enough! I decided I would take a trip towards Brean and Burnham-on-Sea, which is right next to the Bristol Channel.  Yes they really do have beaches here! But you might have to walk a mile to find It! I thought nice day, sun is shinning, ill go for a walk, did I say upright?  Hehe I got out of the car and was nearly flattened by the gale force wind blowing. I frantically found my raincoat and zipped up, determined I was still going to walk along the Bristol Channel.  Halfway along, I was taking some pics, wile I was actually looking for some water lol I suddenly wondered how quickly the tides change here?  This sand seems still wet? Signs up warning about mud and sinking sand? Hmmm don't think ill be too long some how.

New flat :)

Hi everyone :)
Just a very short message today as I'm still recovering from a week long bout of Bronchitis and Asthma and raging Temps :( not the sort of thing you relish coming to England!  I blame my friend for giving me her germs, she was sick just before I got my bugs! Anyway onward and upward as the saying goes, well I'm trying to stay upward! It has been a challenge this week.  I have good news though, even when the job hunting has proved slow this week, I have good news on the home front. Yayyyy I now will have a roof over my head for the next 5 months at least! The Letting Agent rang me yesterday to let me know they are going to let me have it :) Doesn't leave much in the pocket for spending now, so that special job best come forth now, do you hear me? Lol. Although maybe if I don't start till next week as I'm still needing rest, the dr says. I wouldn't care as long as I got a call for an interview :) I have got to the point that I have applied for so many online, that I can't remember who they are for! Some of the latter ones when I realised I was able to save the job online on the relevant agency. They only contact you if you get on the short list here apparently, although I did get one "no" reply, but I sort of expected that, as they were looking for someone younger, but I thought apply anyway :)
I need to muster up some strength to go into Wells today, to fix the pin on my bank card, went to use it the other day "no can do!" How embarrassing! Fortunately I had some cash on me. Might take a browse of the "charity" furniture shop, you never know what they might have!  I will have an unfurnished flat, but it does come equipped with a built in fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, so really I only need the essentials, a bed and something to sit on for starters! Anyone coming to visit in the near future, the spare room has nice carpet so far! Lol There is always a blow up mattress, (not doll!) although whichever you think might be the most comfortable :) I'm planning on other furniture later, when I'm financial. Thanks to Helen, she has steered me in the right direction of the "cheaper" Retail outlets xxx one thing I will say, food is quite cheap here, which is good as the wages are something else! I did realise that before coming but just not as bad as they truly are!
Anyway no pics today, been stuck indoors for days with this Bronchitis! I promise come the weekend that I will be keeping well away from the traffic in around Glastonbury, because it will be manic, but with a bit of luck, might here some good music from here :) at no extra charge.  I am thinking of going for a drive south a bit to Weston Super Mare and over near the coast, as the weather is promising to be lovely. Camera with me, off I shall trek!
Until my next post, love to you all xxxxx

Cheese anyone? - spent Day in Cheddar, Somerset

Greetings from Zommerzet, Clive from Bowra's I have finally got the pronounciation  right! The land of the best cheddar ever and yes Cath Ball, the "Scrumpy Cider" does leave you a bit leg less, but I had to have one for you Cath! But then after that, spent the next two hours having to walk around the town and pretend I wasn't drunk or on something and walk it off, but that wasn't hard because it was such a quaint, cute little village, I could live here, although I think the touristy part, could get a bit, the same as "Mandurah" gets in summer time, tons of buses and loads of terrorists as Mum use to say! I would have enjoyed company yesterday, but my friend was sick in bed so I made the most of what was of the English Father's Day and enjoyed myself :)  Helen I found another "Jacob's Ladder" for you to climb, only about 297 steps or so to the top! I was having a chat to a fella, as you do lol and he had just come down from the top, looked as fit as, back pack on, I wished him well on his way and we parted ways as he walks  past me and down the road. Derek I found your Tea Rooms along the way, nestled in the Main Street, not far from where they sold the "Scrumpy Cider". (funny that! Reminded me of the days at The "office" when we would all go have a drink with George after work, well I had a drink for both George and Cath today :). I didn't get to chat to many people today because it was after all "fathers day" so left most people to their kids :). I think though I might have to come back up here during the week and visit the caves here and they have crystals up here as well and they have. An open bus trip up and down the "gorge" so that might be nice. In the meantime though here are some happy snaps of the little town of "Cheddar" and the Cheddar Gorge" all proceeds of entrances to the Gorge, go towards saving it, removing the Ash trees from some of the rock formations at the top, so livestock can roam again and so that the town can place netting down the bottom of a lot of the rock formations to catch rubble as the rocks fall, avoiding cars and people at the bottom! (a good thing, I would say!)
