It was early evening when we arrived at the town of Glastonbury. It was still baking hot. We'd actually spent all day walking around the massive Shepton Flea Market, so the last thing I planned on doing was to walk up a steep hill. Somehow my husband cajoled me into walking up Glastonbury Tor, a hill that affords amazing views over the flat country it rises from. I complained quite a bit - it is not an easy climb in the heat. It was worth it though!
The tower on top of the tor is all that remains of St Michael's Church, built in the 1300s. The tower has been rebuilt extensively since then. It's a site of religious significance still, including for Pagans and those worshipping Goddesses. Our fellow tourists carried crystals on sticks, and carried out sage-burning, drum-beating and yoga headstands. I was content to rest in the shade and admire the views. A film crew was there also, filming a documentary for the Discovery Channel.
Primark trousers, Clarks sandals, vintage bag, jewellery, scarf, blouse and hat.
That's not my dog!
I am actually surprised with how these photos came out, as I was a hot and sticky mess. Not too noticeable I hope! Have you been taking any sightseeing trips so far this summer?

You don't look hot and sticky at all. Quite the opposite, you look quite cool and collected, and very stylish too. I love those Primark trousers and the blouse you're wearing is utterly fabulous. So is the view from Glastonbury Tor. It's been many years since I've been there, but I remember the view being fantastic even on a cloudy day. We've been having warm but very humid days, which would have been more bearable if we'd been in the countryside ... Not sure I'd managed to climb the tor in it, though! xxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful outfit! And what a views!
ReplyDeleteLoved the outfit and the location.
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous ensemble, just perfect styling! Sounds like a very long day, I'd of been dead tired after that in the heat ;)
ReplyDeleteYou look fabulous, I love that ruffled blouse and the straw hat.
ReplyDeleteIsn't Glastonbury Tor magical (or maybe it's because I only see it in a cider haze at the festival)?
That little dog is the best accessory ever. xxx
I think the walk in the heat was worth it ;) Great look - I am loving your bag.
ReplyDeleteThat's a fantastic outfit you're wearing there! So summery and lovely.
ReplyDeleteStanding on the Tor, you can really see why it was seen as an island, back before the Levels were drained, can't you?
I am loving this look! The blouse and hat combo are absolutely fabulous, and I really dig the flowy printed trousers. The Tor looks like a beautiful spot to visit, I hope that I get to see it myself some day!
