Trampolines - 101 Words

One week after Else began her first nursing job, she went to a party where she would both meet her first husband and, while jumping on a trampoline, fall and sprain her ankle.

Chalice Well, or the Red Spring, an ancient water source at the foot of Glastonbury Tor, Somerset, England.

I was easy to spend a meditative hour or two in the Chalice gardens with a view of the Tor, and to watch others fill their glass and perhaps say a prayer to themselves. #travel #Glastonbury #Somerset #England #redspring #ChaliceWell #Tor #myth #water (at Chalice Well)
