Elevenses in Somerton. I think it must be at least 40 years since I was last here and it hasn't changed.
Next stop the Church of St Peter and St Paul in Muchelney to revisit the spectacular angel roof.
A beautiful broken mid 18th century tombstone at Mucheleny.
Then on to the Church of Saint Michael at East Coker. One obvious change since my last visit was the addition to T S Eliot's memorial slab of the name of his widow, Valerie who died last November.
I sat in the churchyard, read 'East Coker' from Four Quartets, realised that T S did in fact seem to be addressing me directly, and grizzled a bit, not because of being unhappy but rather the opposite. I am so fortunate even when I am coughing my guts up.
