The improver of natural knowledge absolutely refuses to acknowledge authority, as such. For him, skepticism is the highest of duties; blind faith the one unpardonable sin. Thomas Huxley

Somerset, Day #6
Wincanton is a typical English country village. Went on a bus trip with Trev for most of the day, to Stonar school (where Mummy and Daddy's little girlie can take Horsey, too). Backtracked to Bradford-on-Avon and spent most of the down time there. Delightful - many pix. Complete with a rendering of 'Jerusalem' on a pipe organ in a seventeenth century stone church - shades of 'Calendar Girls' WI meetings. B on A has a Shambles (market street, a canal (Kennet and Avon, with locks and long boats), lots of golden Bath stone. Tithe Barn, too. Practically every stone here has a story.
