Nearly the Solstice.........


Not long to the Summer Solstice.....wish I was going I have never been to the solstice even though Stonhenge is only about 30 miles away ....maybe next year .......it's the only time they allow people into the stone circle ....when I was a child you could picnic amongst them but now when you visit the stones are protected by a rope circle to stop people touching them ...OUTRAGEOUS .....I am a stone toucher as well as a tree hugger ...still you can touch the stones at Avebury.....xx

  3. Yes, you definitely have to go sometime. I've been to Stonehenge, I think it was pre-roped off days. The idea of being there on the solstice is really exciting!

  4. Wow that is an amazing photo of Stonehenge! It would be amazing to be there - here in Australia we are having Winter solsti - Suzyce and everybody just looks forward to the turn around when the days begin to come lighter again. The awareness and the being in it is what counts.
    Happy Solstice
