Medieval Countryside
[Image: Dorchester Abbey - not untypical of the many country churches I passed today.]
Bought a bicycle (£50 - very reasonable, says I) and pedalled out the country. Possibly one of the most beautiful days of my life. Lunch by a brook next to a small road; little churches and such-like every two miles.
Watched England-Portugal in a pub in Dorchester. Gobsmackingly exciting. Beckham goes off with a damaged foot and in his absence Wayne Rooney gets shirty, responds to Portuguese taunting by getting physical, and gets sent off. With ten men, England spend the rest of the game in a holding pattern, desperately defending. The penalty shootout is gutwrenching. The terrified English players, utterly unprepared for this, make a mess of the shootout . . .
And lose. Silly fellows.
Dorchester Abbey is beautiful. Two images of the Ascension, which I bag like a fisherman. Can't wait to get the images onto my computer.
Back to the hostel. Noise worse than ever.
