England

Finally, a mere three months after our return from Europe, this photo journey is coming to an end. And there was much rejoicing.

There weren't as many quality pictures at this point in the trip, as we were getting weary of being shutterbugs and just weary in general. There's especially a distinct lack of much from London, but we were only effectively there for about a day and a half.

glastonbury patchwork fieldsHere's the view from the Glastonbury Tor. Lovely.
