An historic day ( for me)

 J and I had a day out yesterday so I took lots of photos.

I thought I might share them.

Look at the lichen

 Its was everywhere and just incredible

 80 different types at the last count......oh sorry, I know what you are thinking, lichen is all very well and quite interesting but its not what this blog is normally about, its normally things to make, objects, pattern, colour, lichen is all very well and some people go weak at the knees for it but you didn't think it was my sort of thing did you?
OK I will show you something handmade

 There, carved by hand........... no, you still don't get it? its is all handmade really, why don't I show you a less close up shot?

 OK, so does that help, no, too far away? OK back closer again...

 How's that? get it yet? can you see the keep out signs? the little rope cordon? no

THAT'S BECAUSE WE ARE INSIDE IT.

 Yesterday J and I went on a guided tour of the monuments around Stonehenge finishing with entrance into the circle itself. ....and even if I say it myself...  wow... it was sooooo cool to walk up to them past the little signs and the security guards.
Its bigger than I thought. I have tried to write about how it all felt but I have found it hard.
(and without trying to name drop again as you all ignored the comment about Mongolia, it felt a lot like Machu Picchu!)

 For those of you who know little about Stonehenge its a very important prehistoric stone circle site in the UK. You are able to visit but only by walking around a specific walkway that does not take you into the circle. There are security guards and you are not allowed in due to erosion/prevent vandalism. You can apply to go in on at midsummer and midwinter. We went on a guided tour organised by English Heritage

 Mind you, the March wind on Salisbury Plain was cold, very cold.

The only sun we saw was this.
