As I mentioned in my previous post, we miscalculated the time we needed to enjoy Avebury. I have the strong urge to visit the site again as soon as possible. On my brief visit I managed to capture a few photographs of some of the stones. I hope you enjoy them.
Avebury is a fascinating site [...]

A Sunday Jaunt
Rather than go out for a meal yesterday we took my father in law out for the day. He decided on the National Trust property Berrington Hall.

Salisbury – Day Two
After breakfast we set off for Avebury, taking in Woodhenge along the way. Unfortunately Avebury was a little bit further than we thought.
