    Thank you As a shop owner in Glastonbury (Dicketts Art Supplies) it's great to see even in a short time of perhaps 3 years the changes that are ever occurring.
    Really appreciate the constant documentation of our history. All the best for the future Steve

      Well good morning to you Steve. What a pleasure to hear from a shop owner in Glastonbury and to hear that in the last 3 years good changes that are occurring.
      All the best to you and your shop too. We'll have to pop by and say hello if we visit again.

    Loved the walk through with the guide, I've not been for many a moon and it reminded me of just how completely different Glastonbury is to most every other UK town, apart from perhaps Totnes. Loved the guy in the pith helmet at 11! Thanks as always.

      Ah yes the lovely Totnes! We do have a walk through there incidentally. We certainly need more of an independent spirit in our UK towns for sure.

    Home of the Glastonbury Music Festival - Glastonbury Somerset is a truly unique setting, with its rich history linked to King Arthur and Joseph of Arimathea.

    Thanks Yvonne, Mike & unknown person! Who's the new member of the team?! 🤔
    I thoroughly enjoyed that with all those facts & figures as the only thing I knew about Glastonbury was its festival as it wouldn't be something I'd be interested in, but your video definitely piqued my interest in the town.
    Enjoy the rest of June my friends 🤗

      Hello there our good friend Rue, so sorry for the delayed response, really pleased it piqued your interest of Glastonbury. it's really got to be the most unique place we've ever been to, and we've been to some pretty odd places! Hope you get to visit someday. We'd love to hear your narration on it for sure. All the best to you mate.

    i wanted to go there but i was waiting for summer here. problem is i didn't have enough time to book something off. now it's the end of summer :( wanted to go before the festival. although I'm a Londoner I think I could live here. Seems lively enough and full of things I like - witchy shops and bookshops. 10 degrees? oh no can do.

      Actually if you were a native here you would see they are intertwined. Many of our talented residents residents run stalls there. Many residents are lucky enough to get free tickets for camping and helping. It always creates interest for us.
