Off to Chew Stoke today to see a man about a piano. Checking it out beforehand with Google Streetview, I was taken with this Thomas the Rhymer style allegorical junction: narrow, briar-beset Pilgrim's Way, the broad expanse of Pagan's Hill, or the bonnie road to Bristol?

Pilgrim or Pagan?

There's only one decision, really.

Oh, lovely!

There's a Sodom Road that I pass sometimes. I never turn down it.

I read that first as "I never turn it down"...

I've wondered where Elfland was. Bristol. Now I know.

We don't like to brag about it.

Hell, too. I've never actually been to Bristol, but I have tried to navigate through it, not to mention changing trains at Parkway more times that I could shake a stick at, and I can see it.

(To get to Devon from South Wales, Bristol is unavoidable, especially if you hate the M5. There's a slipway that leads down from the Severn Bridge towards Bristol which we call the Swan Road. One day Z asked why we called it the Swan Road, and we had to explain that once, many years before he was born, three swans had flown over our car as we were driving down it.)

Quite a remarkable place, all in all.

The children of Lir make good their escape, in the general direction of Swindon.
