These
visions of what Glastonbury could become are placed here to
inspire and act as yeast in the dough, in order to nourish
‘the fields of Avalon’.
We
hope you find some of them exciting, provocative and stimulating.
They are listed here merely as suggestions towards a future,
which we can all help to create. |
