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.htmA 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.
