A Visit to Somerset and a climb up Cley Hill

Another sunny day although not quite as hot with a cooling breeze. Sara had Sophie's children all day today to enable Sophie to work up at Roche Court. Quite a noisy affair! Sara took them out with her and Mary to Mary's ballet and some essential shopping. I completed the bookwork ready for my accountant and at midday I drove over to Somerset (Frome) to deliver Complex's books of account for conversion into Company House's accounts and a tax return. On the way back I stopped off at Cley Hill and climbed to the top to blow away some "cobwebs" - I am still feeling rather lethargic and thought the climb up the hill would do me good. It was very windy on the top but with magnificent views across the Wiltshire and Somerset landscape. I particularly liked the view looking down on Little Cley Hill (see picture). It is obvious that Cley Hill and little Cley Hill are ancient burial mounds due to their perfect shape (although Cley Hill has been quarried into) and they have connections with UFO sitings. On the drive back to Winterlsow I listened to the Brentford v. Saints match at Griffin Park. Saints managed a terrific 0-3 win which did look as though it would seal their return to the second flight of English football but a late goal at Brighton by Huddersfield means that the contest will now go to the wire and Saints will have to wait until the final game at St. Mary's next Saturday to secure promotion. We simply don't seem to be able to shake off Huddersfield. Somerset also beat Hampshire in the four-day county match at the Rose Bowl. Tonight I rolled out the barbecue and we had a barbecued supper of sardines, prawns, lamb burgers and sausages. Summer seems to have finally arrived (we hope!)
