Stranger 307 - Nicole
It was a sunny and still morning when I met Nicole. She didn't answer straight away when I asked if I might take her photo. There was a look of uncertainty which caused me to worry that she was going to refuse. I continued to try and explain my project a little more before she said yes.
Nicole was visiting Glastonbury from Switzerland. Her English was very good but perhaps I was speaking to fast – as I do. Maybe she understood me perfectly well and she was just considering my motives and weighing up in her mind whether it was a good thing to do. Once Nicole agreed, she was fully committed. We chatted for a bit and when it came to taking the photos she was very helpful offering to move around for me.
Nicole is a student. She has almost completed her degree in Mechanical Engineering. I smiled when I heard this because it was the subject that I took. Nicole is spending 4 days in Glastonbury, she hopes to be able to visit Stonehenge. She is interested in spiritual matters and pathways in life.
When I asked why she decided to study engineering she told me that it suited her logical mind. For her final project she has written a program to model power sources. This will help facilitate matching supply against demand.
I wondered if Nicole might know about Hinkley Point nuclear power stations. The new one, Hinkley Point C, if it goes ahead, will Europe's largest construction project ever. The existing power station is on the Bristol channel and clearly visible from the tor. I asked Nicole if she would like to see it. She got up then said that she would need her glasses.
After she had seen the power station, she took her glasses off again for the photos.
Thank you Nicole for agreeing to be in my project. It was good to meet you. I hope that you enjoy your remaining days in Somerset and wish you well with your engineering.
