British Out-Takes, 2026, 1

From our weeks on the road...apologies for any duplicates of the already-posted...think of them as running gags...

It was in the North, the fall of 2009, at a Home Depot-like
place, that we had our first lesson in sorting it out...in that case,
choosing the right trolley (we were (foolishly) purchasing
insulation for the exterior plumbing on our camper)...

So it was no surprise, when we got to Winchester, in 2026, 
that British stores were still helping us to sort things out

Photos by Vicki; notice I am heading for the exit, hoping
not to be apprehended...

Further sorting; but note there was no similar assistance for
sorting out mens' under-garments, which are also somewhat
complicated

Next to godliness in Winchester Cathedral

All over Wells we saw these more than life-size swan figures,
depicting scenes about the city

Also posters of the various swans of Wells

The police department swan was a bit of a shock...maybe OK for the UK

But might not have been OK in the US

Pigeons are indeed a threat...hoping to audition for the
role of Holy Spirit in next year's Easter pageant

Per capita, Wells has to be the most fun you can have in a UK city

Please remove shoes before playing the organ

Diocesan dirty linen (also wool, cotton, silk)

In the Wells Cathedral chained library

Soon to be replaced by an AI-controlled Holy Roomba

A huge selection of Holy Socks in the Wells Cathedral shoppe

A tribute to Well's Olympic long jump champ of yesteryear

Gold medal, world record...top that!

Now en route to Gloucester, via Bath, being
reminded that this is how, prior to 2009, we 
used to navigate

In Gloucester, wondering where the George is, not to
mention the Upper George
