Christmas

I hope everyone had a good Christmas.
I had a lovely couple of days with Esther's family in Upper Minetry in Wiltshire. It was a proper English Christmas with Turkey, Christmas pudding, all the trimmings and a roaring fire. I am now back at work which is very quiet.

Stonehenge

I did a Mad Max tour through the Wiltshire countryside Mal, the tour guide obviously didn't know that silence can be a virtue so talked continually or put on a tape of history for the entire trip making it somewhat difficult to talk to anyone on the trip. We did however see some pretty villages, churches, Stonehenge and a white horse cut into the hillside. I was really impressed by Stonehenge, quite a few people had told me that they found it disappointing and that you can't walk between the stones. It is true that there a small barriers that prevent you from walking under the stones this does however provide the advantage of being able to take much better photos. There was also an interesting audio guide that discussed the stones and why the may have been placed there.

Bath

Just been to Bath for the weekend. The Roman baths had an interesting audio guide of the history. I also went to the Abbey and the Jane Austen centre and wandered round the city.
