Rowling and the Harry Potter books!
In Part 5, we made our way to Scotland for the first time, stopping in Glasgow and ending our video with a cheeky whisky tasting at the Oban Distillery in Oban, Scotland!

How to See the Hogwarts Express, aka Jacobite Train, cross the Glenfinnan Viaduct:
Step 1 – Reference this Google Maps walking route
(Note: there is free parking 200 meters NW of the Glenfinnan Monument Parking lot, where you turn right on A830, but you’ll need to get there early to get a space):
Step 2 – Check the dates & times the Jacobite train runs:
Step 3 – Plan ahead and arrive early!
The train passes the viaduct approximately 30 minutes after departing from Fort William station. The train will pass around 10:45am if departing from Fort William at 10:15am and pass around 3:10pm if leaving Fort William at 2:40pm. The walk from the parking lot will take you 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 4 – Find your favorite spot to view the train
When the train departs Fort William for Mallaig, it will be heading West. We recommend finding a spot on the far left (West) and South of the viaduct to get the best views. You’ll want to give yourself 15 minutes to find your favorite spot before the train arrives.
Step 5 – Capture the moment with photos and videos!
Final advice, plan to arrive at least one hour before the train passes the viaduct to give you plenty of time to secure a parking space, walk to the viaduct and locate your favorite position to watch the train.

Enchanted Forest Alderley Edge - Wizard Appeared 1805 (Cheshire, England) 20
Alderley Edge in Cheshire, England has long been associated with tales of a Wizard who traveled with a farmer in this forest in 1805 where a portal to the underworld was open and the Knights Templar were seen sleeping with their horses.
Step inside to Alderley Forest in Cheshire, England and see what you feel. To me it was an enchanting, magical, and mystical forest; as I felt the energy as soon as I stepped foot into the Wizard Inn & Restaurant off of Macclesfield Rd. in Cheshire, England without knowing any of the history or legands.
I know I did not stubble upon this by mistake. There are certain places I am being brought to without me knowing or researching.

UK Spiritual Tour: Glastonbury Abbey
Our visit to King Arthur and Gunivere's grave site at the Glastonbury Abbey.
This is a snippet of the tour where a lovely lady in a period costume did such a great job in showing us around.
BACKGROUND on the Abbey
Glastonbury, in addition to many other places, like Caerleon and Tintagel, has been linked to King Arthur. This link though, at Glastonbury, is in death rather than life. The connection of the Isle of Apples or Avalloc, to Avalon was thought to have been first made in about the 12th century and then reported by William of Malmesbury the interpolator, in his De antiquitae Glatoniensis ecclesie and Geoffrey of Monmouth in his Historia regum Britanniae.
Arthur was the legendary English King - 'Arthur of the Britons', before Saxon times. He was born out of wedlock and raised by wizard Merlin. When only a boy, after many men had tried and failed, Arthur gained the throne by withdrawing the magic sword Excalibur from a stone. The nearby Cadbury Castle, at North Cadbury supposedly became his 'Camelot'.

The Witch of Glastonbury by Paul Prater
World Magic Shop DO NOT SELL Every product listed anymore. Only visit: for the items we sell. Quality not Quantity :-) A story is told about a fortuneteller. As the mage tells his story he illustrates it using old tarot cards. Regardless of the choices made, one always meets death. However death is the better option than who he truly meets in the end. The surprising revelation will leave your audience gasping.
This piece of bizarre magic can be performed quickly or with more of a story depending on your audience. It is a piece that really packs a punch and allows you to focus on storytelling and your audience.
You get three handmade, hand aged and hand cut cards. No three are alike so your set will be unique. You also get a handmade and aged envelope for the cards and an instruction booklet. The 18 page booklet is 5.5 x 8.5 and is full color and saddle stitched. It includes Peter Marucci's original routine, a routine by Paul Prater and one by Christopher Gould.
No difficult sleight of hand, no switches, ends clean!

Glasto Paradise (Song)
I recorded this on my phone, here are the lyrics...
Glasto Paradise
As I walk through Glastonbury in my rainbow dress,
I take a look at my life and realise that I'm blessed,
'cause I've been juicing for so so long,
that I'm in cloud 9, yeah I really belong.
And I never met a hippy that wasn't worth it,
me in a 9 to 5, you know that's unheard of.
To the Tor I'm walking and new age talk I'm talking,
drawing in the high street in shades of chalk.
And I really love to trip but I don't like to smoke,
eating the weed you know it's really dope.
I'm the kind of Glastonbury girl you wanna be like,
on my knees on the night, saying prayers on the moon light.
Been spending most our lives, living in a Glasto paradise,
Been spending most our lives, living in a Glasto paradise.
It's a magic situation that I'm embracing,
I can't live a normal life as a walk down the street,
so I gotta to down with the witches,
and the wizards of this town living out their dreams.
I'm a right brained genius with paradise on my mind,
I got a wand in my hand and an open third eye.
I'm a Glastofarian, and I'm always trippin',
when my hippy friends are round the house is live and kicking.
The feeling of bliss is just a heart beat away,
I'm living life like this, so tell me what can I say.
I'm 38 now, but I'm just a child, running round this town free and wild.
Tell me why are we, so blind to see,
the divine's in you and the divine's in me.
Been spending most our lives, living in a Glasto paradise,
Been spending most our lives, living in a Glasto paradise.
Like a Miracle - Henry Buckton - (Legend of the Glastonbury Holy Thorn)
Like a Miracle with words and music by Henry Buckton, tells the story of the Glastonbury Holy Thorn, the background to which is as follows. Jesus Christ had a great-uncle known as Joseph of Arimathea. Joseph was a merchant and his ships often came to England in search of tin. Legend has it that on one journey, Joseph came to Glastonbury, which at that time was an island rising out of the marshes, the Isle of Glass (Ynys Witrin) later known as the Isle of Avalon, central to the stories of King Arthur and the quest for the Holy Grail. On one particular trip, Joseph was accompanied by his young nephew Jesus, who was employed as a ship’s carpenter. Jesus would undoubtedly have trained to be a carpenter, as the tradition was always to follow in your father’s footsteps. We know very little about Jesus, until he was around 30, which was an entire lifetime in those distant days. Indeed, the same legend is also told in the Maronite villages of Galilee, where many people today still believe that Jesus came to Britain, remaining for much of the winter because of bad weather. And during that winter he helped Joseph to build a simple place of worship out of the twisted English wattles, to administer to the spiritual needs of the sailors. Perhaps the best-known champion of this legend was William Blake, who in his hymn Jerusalem asks: “And did those feet in ancient times, walk upon England’s mountains green?” As well as being a merchant Joseph was a very important man, a member of the Sanhedrin, the highest council of justice. He was also a secret follower of Christ and on the day of the crucifixion, he provided a sepulchre for the Lord’s body. When Jesus was taken down from the cross, Joseph plucked one of the thorns from the crown of thorns that the Roman soldiers had placed on his head. Legend has it that a staff grew from the thorn. Joseph thereafter took the staff and travelled around the world, spreading Christianity. He also took with him the Holy Grail, which was the chalice used by Jesus and his disciples at the Last Supper, and a pair of cruets containing Christ’s sweat and blood. When Joseph returned to England, near the spot where Christ had earlier helped him build a chapel, he thrust the staff into the ground and sighed, “Now we are weary all.” Miraculously, the staff took root and grew into a thorn tree. The place is still called Wearyall Hill and nearby, Joseph built the first Christian church in England, on the spot where Glastonbury Abbey stands today. There are now several Holy Thorns, and the one on Wearyall Hill is said to be a direct descendent from the one that grew from Joseph’s staff.
Stonehenge 1986 (South on Two - Special Report)
A year after the Beanfield, during the summer of 1986, the Wltshire and Hampshire police once again launched a huge operation to try and prevent people from reaching Stonehenge for the Solstice sunrise. This was the year of when the remains of the Peace Convoy was decommissioned during Operation Daybreak at a place called Stoney Cross. It was also the year when hundreds of festival goers tried in vain to get past a massive and expensive police exclusion zone covering a huge area around the stones. This is a South on Two documentary about the extraordinary cat and mouse game that was played out that year (and subsequent years) in the usually quiet country lanes around Wiltshire.
Behind the Scenes of Genius Loci: The Drumming Avalon Segment
After ascending the Tor in Glastonbury, Sara and I decided to test out the acoustics in St. Michael's Tower to see how our drums would sound as a storm was rolling by to the north. This is a very short segment of footage, unfortunately, but it is all that was in the particular file. If you have your good speakers wired up, or your good earbuds in, at 0:17 seconds you will hear the spot I found where the bass just resonated and filled the whole place, wrapping itself all around us. A little too much for a drum jam though sadly, so I moved to a different spot. Upon our decent, we encountered an older couple on their way up from town that told us they could hear us over a mile away. :-)

Lyrics:
Knew you'd be here tonight
So I put my best dress on
Boy, I was so right
Our eyes connected
Now nothing's how it used to be
No second guesses
Track in on this feeling
Pull focus close up you and me
Nobody's leaving
Got me affected
Spun me 180 degrees
It's so electric
Slow down and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow
Slow down and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow
Don't wanna rush it
Let the rhythm pull you in
It's here so touch it
You know what I'm saying
And I haven't said a thing
Keep the record playing
Slow down and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow
Slow down and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow
Read my body language
Take it down, down

Slow down and dance with me

Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body

Glastonbury Goddess Conference 2017
The ladies and girls gather for the final day of the Conference.
At 10am, they gather on the steps of the town hall, then process from there to Glastonbury Tor for the main event.
A pleasant sunny day, made even better by these sunny ladies. to save time, I have used flip transitions at each clip; that means I didn't have to waste too much time matching the clips together.
A long video, stick with it, it's full of lousy editing, but that doesn't make it that much worse.
**No stabilisation other than that used in the camcorder has been used; it keeps the imagery much clearer. Sony Camcorders: superb
