    Gorgeous.

    To a Montana boy, that color green seems surreal.

    Was there any naked drum banging? I'm not a huge fan of drum banging, but naked hippies can be fun.

    We didn't see any naked .
    Might have been too cold.
    We got there later to go around Avebury Manor.

    This was the scariest TV series around when I was a lad.

    Children of the Stones- what a great series! I read the book as well.
    Had a major crush on Katharine Levy (Sandra).

    Looked at the Christmas decorations & had a cream tea.
    Here's some photos.

    Hippy.

    Any good eye-spy hippies? Had some very funny evenings at Avebury. The naked wedding we stumbled upon a golden moment.
    Extra fun points for explaining to the nutters in that (brilliant) pub how the stones were placed 'aesthetically' in the C20th.

    The chap from work who is a witch was due there at 13.30 for a ceremony but we pushed off before then.
    He said about 92 people turned up for the Gorsedd.
    Some pics.
