I've decided that I've spent enough time wandering around Swindon. It's becoming a little like poking a hole in a tooth. Everything I see reminds me of the past but not always in ways that I enjoy.

So I'm going much further afield today as I just remembered that I haven't visited Glastonbury Tor this year.

About a 15 minute walk from Swindon is a lovely retail centre and a steam engine museum (i think). The town is a bit boring otherwise.

@meggie I nearly went to the steam museum on Sunday. Actually walked into the lobby and the cafe but i wasn't in the mood. I'm not a fan of most retail centres so I didn't go in. Some of the pictures from Sunday are from the Rodbourne area near the old railway yards: https://similarworlds.com/social/blogs/5400542-Ninas-Blog-Sunday-21st-September-2025

Here's a picture of the museum itself

And some wheels at the entrance to the whole area

And the rather unimpressive entrance to the shopping centre
