Title: Sunday lunch at Avebury. Post by: Manky Monkey on March 26, 2007, 01:17:06 PM Young Tazet & I took a drive out to Avebury in Wiltshire yesterday.
More info here if you've never heard of it: http://www.mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/visit.htm A bright & breezy Spring morning -just right for a stroll among the standing stones to blow the Winter cobwebs away. Lots of sight-seers there, mainly families, but also a VW camper full of middle aged hippes, who insisted on walking around the circles, earnestly discussing leylines & cosmic energy & touching every stone. As we left they were sat around one of the meridian stones, holding hands & no doubt being very mystical & deep. Wonder if they knew half the stones were uprooted & moved by the local landowner less than 100 years ago. A nice place though. Very tranquil. Well, apart from the 30 or so members of the Great Western Harley Owners Group who were also there. We enjoyed a huge lunch in the local hostelry then another quick jaunt to walk it off a bit, before heading home, stopping off in Marlborough on the way to visit my big bro, Brock. Not sure which impresses me most -his Black Pig chevy engined drag car, the new car he's building, or the huge ex library van he's customising to transport them in. A very pleasant day out.

Some of us were born with the photogenic gene & some weren't. I wasn't one of the lucky ones so I prefer to hide behind the camera. I'm very cute though. Title: Re: Sunday lunch at Avebury. Post by: tazet on March 26, 2007, 01:44:59 PM don't be daft babe, and yes very cute ;D :-*

Post by: BikerGran on March 26, 2007, 05:07:27 PM My favourite place there is the stone avenue on one of the roads out of the village. The stone circle doesn't do a thing for me but standing in the avenue I really could feel something - yep, even cynical old me!
