A lot of the old air fields have gone now, but there probably will be a museum somewhere all about it.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-31193004061600133182010-06-05T17:47:14.684+01:002010-06-05T17:47:14.684+01:00I would love to see Stonehenge someday.

And I would love to see where my Dad spent a good part of WWII at an air field called King's Cliffe that, as far as I know, is no longer in existence. Somewhere near Manchester, I believe.MissKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726021829363492972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-63946634507341906272010-06-04T12:05:27.222+01:002010-06-04T12:05:27.222+01:00Hi Rose – I also love standing stones, and cairns,...Hi Rose – I also love standing stones, and cairns, and barrows. It is the ‘why’ that intrigues me. Stonehenge is a lot smaller than I thought it would be, in a way. I think the Beeb’s adaptation of Tess was actually filmed there, they must have got permission from the National Trust.<br /><br />===<br /><br />Hi Tuppence. Have already popped over to say thank you!<br /><br />===<br /><br />Hi Palindrome – Thank you! It was actually a church, not a castle, but still gorgeous. You definitely will need a lot of time off to get the best of sight-seeing Europe!<br /><br />===<br /><br />Hi Carol – Thank you!<br /><br />===<br /><br />Hi Fran. Yes, I can see that sounds less than enthusiastic but can assure you it was fab, really!<br /><br />===<br /><br />Hi Cassandrajade. I did! Thanks!<br /><br />===<br /><br />Hi Alexandra – Wow! Seeing Stonehenge at sunrise sounds perfect. I didn’t know Sting lives near Avebury either – wish I had landed in time for the BBQ!<br /><br />===<br /><br />Hi Janet. I actually did make it to the Cerne Abbas giant! But for that I used my long-lens camera (coughs discreetly). :)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-11595386558823025862010-06-02T17:02:06.807+01:002010-06-02T17:02:06.807+01:00Falen – Oh but Minnesota sounds lovely to me! Lake...Falen – Oh but Minnesota sounds lovely to me! Lakes! Lakes are gorgeous.<br /><br />---<br /><br />Happy Frog – thank you!<br /><br />---<br /><br />Talli – Cheers! Really?? I had the impression that you couldn’t miss the stones at Avebury – they seemed to be right there from the car park onwards! But I was with someone who had been before, maybe she knew the best place to go to see them.<br /><br />---<br /><br />Priya – Happy reading!<br /><br />---<br /><br />Lilly – Thank you! <br /><br />---<br /><br />Eliza – I wonder if school trip season ever stops?!<br /><br />---<br /><br />Melissa – Stonehenge is a very odd place. The main thing is no one knows why they are there – and the fact they were dragged to that spot from such a long way away... it is awe-inspiring, and makes you wonder who those people were once upon a time.<br /><br />---<br /><br />Al – haha! I was so hot, but yes, as an Aussie you may have found the temp just right. :)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-42536061033616272132010-06-02T17:01:07.478+01:002010-06-02T17:01:07.478+01:00Karen - Thanks!

I remember that ‘World Shut Your Mouth’ song.... how funny! In a way it does figure quite well!<br /><br />===<br /><br />Old Kitty – In a way I love National Trust for looking after places so well, in another way I feel sad that everything is so efficiently organised and you cannot just stumble across magnificent things anymore. And yes – still shreds of mysticism!<br /><br />===<br /><br />Mise – Haha. The Blackthorn fairy impression only happens in person, I am afraid. After a glass of something swish.<br /><br />===<br /><br />Joanne – Stonehenge is amazing, but I will try to go again out of hours to avoid the people!<br /><br />===<br /><br />Crystal – Haha – as I said to Mise, you’d have to meet me in person for the Blackthorn fairy thing to happen!

I was in Avebury as well - did you know Sting lives around there? Every year, he has a BBQ for the entire village.
