Re: Hop aboard the CHARABANC TOUR daily.
My word folks you have made an oldish lady very happy!!!Thank you all very much.
Moyra you have "hit the nail on the head" as it were because I am housebound,have suffered serious health issues for years............ and although once extremely active I now find far too much time on my hands...............but my mind is ever active.................hence devising these tours,which are certainly uplifting for me, filling in many boring long hours.................whilst having had 30 years heavily involved in voluntary work.......... the aim was to reach out to those others house or bed bound, disabled etc.......................whilst of course a great bonus if many others enjoy the fruits of my labours too.!!!
Jazzi.............only when you mentioned it I too realised that the public were missing!!!
Perhaps they were too shy to be filmed!!
Indeed Meg I agree,Dunster is perfectly charming.
Mags ,Myrtle and perhaps you Wishbone??? a season ticket is on its way.
Just one little reminder.
I shall be posting longer tours which will take days or even weeks to complete................ so please hold on and be patient!!!
