We have started our British tour with a couple of gigs near to our home - this means there is less work for our roadies.Our first visit was a church in Bedminster, Bristol. It was good to hear the familiar Bristol (pronounced Bristle) accent. A non-romantic Bristolian term of endearment that is used for friends, or sometimes even strangers, is 'my lover'. An Arabic translation of this is 'habeebee', which is also used in the same context.
Our second visit was in a small hamlet in Somerset, where the church tower dates back to the 13th century. The church (in the picture) is surrounded by green fields and rolling hills and confirmed that we were truly back in England. P
