"Steven has been making cheese for 29 years, the last 14 at Montgomery's. He lives in Glastonbury, which sounds like a thrilling place, but he is not thrilled. In Glastonbury, every decent shop over the years has been replaced by some dress-as-Merlin or be-a-sorcerer shop where you can buy all sorts of gadgets to play Lord of the Rings. For the locals that's not so good. We get all sorts of tourists, some of them come to Glastonbury because they think the end of the world has come or that they can be witches. Many are on the dole."
