Thanks Bloomer, jade says thanks too, it is a race to the camera's now she's getting quite interested in photography :-)

A nice hobby to have too :o)

she enjoys it, not bad for being 10, well 11 in December

Thanks Hb, i'll let Jade know you liked them, they have audio guides as you go round to tell you more facts which is good too.. :-)

Jade's done a great job there, SL. Have you shown her some of the wonderful photos on here to inspire her too? There's a wealth of talent on here in many different forms. Stonehenge must be a fascinating place to visit.

Thanks Tuesdaybear, she's like me loves gardening and nature, sometimes she'll sit outside with me by the pond and chat about all the insects...it's a lovely place to go Stonehenge :-)

How lovely she sounds, SL. My four had all lost interest by that age! Lovely to be able to share your interest with her. Mind you, Holly's made some good choices for your garden too.

There is an artist behind that camera Surreylad !

Tell Jade I said so.

Magical place! I visited Stonehenge many years ago - when people were allowed to wander between the stones. A very eerie feeling! Glad I saw it, but was pleased to get away. Nice photography, Surreylad.

Thank you Jade for some lovely photos.
It's wonderful how they built such a thing all those years ago.

Very interesting blog, I've never been either, and great pictures Jade :-)

"Cult of the circle" monuments are really astonishing, aren´t they? :) You have one more exclusive place like that, it is in Ireland Brú na Bóinne.
SL, why did people protest against excavation of the tomb?

I will thanks Diane :-)

Thanks Nariz :-)

Thanks Hywel, it amazes me how they did it.

Thanks Simbad.

Thanks Kat, i just Googled that it looks amazing, they were protesting that the bodies and/or artefacts should be left untouched and rest in peace.

Enjoyed your blog

Thanks Clarice :-)

I agree (I did not find it, I thought you were among protesters, too :)). This same feeling I had many times when I was working as archeology volunteer during my University studies. Always, when human bones were taken from their burial places I though I wouldn´t wish that in my case. To be taken from soil, given to some paper box, got number on the shelf in museum stock, full of dust and wait for some exhibition, which would earn money for the mayor of the town.
Can you please, give me the link on that article? I am interested what is going on and why. If possible. Thank you.

i don't have a link i'm afraid Kat, you could try the english heritage site as it's all part of that. :-)

Thank you very much.

Great blog...I enjoyed that very much. I love Stonehenge and all the barrows and stone circles. I hope to go to see Orkney one of these days...only trouble is the ferry crossing is too long and the flight is too expensive!

thanks Karen i love all these stones and barrows too :-)
