Wells

[wellinghall]

Yesterday, we went to Wells. Magnificent cathedral, impressive Bishop's Palace, and stunning Vicars' Close.

Today, we're going down to Cornwall, where we hope to see a few other LJ-ers. We come bearing chocolate, fudge and books!

I like Wells - my grandparents come from Frome so we often visit the place. The cathedral is indeed magnificant and the Bishops Palace is lovely in the autumn. Many times have my grandparents and I sat on the benches by the moat and eaten our lunchtime sandwiches *sigh*

It's a nice town :-)

It's ages since I've been to Wells, but I remember the moat and the cathedral. Some Doctor Who was filmed there last year.

Which episode(s) was that?

[sigisgrim.livejournal.com]

But did you see any halls? :-)

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

???

*is baffled*

[sigisgrim.livejournal.com]

*face palm*

You were in Wells, looking at things and I asked you about halls.

Your LJ name is what? :-)


Hands up who else didn't get it.

*feels dense*

[ladyofastolat.livejournal.com]

I didn't get it either. :-)

I'm glad I'm not the only one :-)

Can we exchange books tomorrow?

[ladyofastolat.livejournal.com]

Assuming you're wellinghall, then yes. (Which books? I'm only bringing "The Mislaid Magician" for you. Have I promised you other things? I tend to make wild promises of lending books, and then forget about them.)

If you're not wellinghall, but are someone who will be located in Outer Mongolia tomorrow, then... no.

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Yep, I'm wellinghall. And yes, I was thinking of MM - and we have the previous one for you.

I would normally say, "All the books" - but I know how heavy our suitcases are.

[sigisgrim.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. :-( I wasn't trying to be subtle, honest.

*pause* *thinks* *ker-ching*

I know what you're all doing! You're trying to spoil my little bit of humour, by getting me to explain it.

*sulks*

Humph!

Please don't eat all the fudge before I arrive on Saturday. I adore fudge!

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

We didn't eat any of the fudge before you arrived on Saturday! Aren't we good ;-)

[ladyofastolat.livejournal.com]

And don't eat all the chocolate or books, either.

I always think I adore fudge, then realise afterwards that I don't, when I go round grimacing, going, "Aaagh! Too sweet!" There was a lovely fudge shop in Wells many many years ago. I think we visited it en masse on one Arthurian pilgrimage.

[parrot-knight.livejournal.com]

We did! Not sure if I took any pictures of the fudge shop, though I do have several of that Wells trip.

[chainmailmaiden]

Can I have your share of the fudge then? :-)

[jane-somebody.livejournal.com]

Yep, we did. And I have to admit to having gone there a good handful of times since - in fact, whenever we're near enough to Wells and need to break a journey I try to wangle it that I can go there ;-)

I *really* adore fudge ;-)

(Well, okay, not REALLY really, I mean I don't keep shrines to it or anything, but you know what I'm getting at.)

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Fudge, mmm :-) (although we actually got this in Bath, rather than Wells).

How are you all? I've got a couple of pretty good photos of you (in various combinations) from Oxonmoot, including an excellent one of skordh and prince_eldarion - I'll email them to you.

Have you seen Hot Fuzz? It's set in Wells and very funny!

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

No (although I have heard good things of it). We hardly ever go to the cinema - and don't get films out on DVD often, either. Don't really know why.
