We arranged to meet Heather and her husband Andrew at a place called Burrow Mump in the county of Somerset. It is near Glastonbury where Heather and Andrew live.
When we arrived we saw this big green hill with a ruin at the top and lots of ewes with lambs grazing...
We were to discover that both 'burrow' and 'mump' mean 'hill'... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burrow_Mump
I looked up and wondered if I would be able to manage to walk up this hill without slipping and huffing and puffing too much...but I managed it quite okay.
The lambs were gorgeous...
We had to watched where we walked as there was a fair bit of sheep poo lying about! Lol
This area of Somerset was affected greatly by the recent floods. In the centre of this next photo you can see the white sandbags used to stop floodwaters entering buildings, still piled up.
All of these buildings were flooded 6 weeks or so ago...
The plaque on the church ruins at the top of Burrows Mump...
A church at the bottom of the Mump which is not a ruin...note the impressive rectory at the back!
Another view from the top of Burrows Mump...
I again wondered whether I would do a spectacular slip and slide down the damp grass! Lol
This lady kept an eye on us as we edged down the hill...'don't touch my baby' look in those eyes!
