Hello from sunny Sommerset :) it has been a busy week with me searching for a little car to get around in, house hunting and pounding the pavement for jobs!

First things first as they always say! At the least I have my own wheels now and can get out and about whenever I want now and don't have to pay anymore for the hire car :) on the house hunting, will be going to look at a few cottages today and flats in my price range hopefully. It is a bit scarey when you have to commit to six months rent up front, without a job, but forever the optimist, hoping something comes up soon :)

I am posting some beautiful pics of the countryside from Wells to Glastonbury.  I can't explain how wonderful it is to drive along these roads and see the green fields and I have been lucky with the weather it has been sunny.  I have to be honest for a moment and tell you I have become one of the locals already! Going to go out for the day, have I got brolley, raincoat, something warm (scarf) all just in case the weather turns, as you might just see all 4 seasons in the one day. Reminds me of Melbourne weather!

Weekdays are mostly cruising around the small villages for me, whilst I continue to look for work. I love the old pubs! But of course I don't frequent then all people because I can't go looking for a job drunk! I got lost in Radstock yesterday and ended up in Midsomer Norton.  For those that followed the Midsomer murders, no I didn't end up on a mortuary slab. I was a little bit dissappointed with the little town itself, I was expecting something more (not sure what!) One thing I have noticed is how close all the little villages are to each other. No sooner do I put the car into fifth gear, I'm having to slow down again to enter yet another little village. Still getting use to the miles and yards thing, when you know your metres, it tends to throw your measurements ou, just a tad!  Well I'm off to Radstock again today and I might go for another big drive in another direction, to see what I can see, go meet some interesting people, So far I'm getting lots of comments on the Aussie twang and I didn't think I had one, but my daughter Helen assures me I do, as she is always having a go at me!

Anyway ill post these pics for now of Challis Well and the countryside on the way to Glastonbury, which looks so green. Glastonbury is a "hippy" town full of great interesting shops full of crystals, books and the like, I know many of my friends could stay more than a day there! Buskers in the streets playing their flutes etc hehe, this weekend is the Glastonbury Festival, so people will come from all around and I believe tickets are sold out!  Anyway enjoy the pics of the Challis Well, which I went to, had the most amazing healing done and reflexology done on my feet, floated out of that place on Sunday arvo xxxx. Until next post xxxxx
