Sounds like you had a wonderful time and those scones are just delicious aren't they. It's lovely that what started out as a virtual friendship has turned into a 'proper' one and to finally meet Tracey must have been the icing on the cake. I'm a reader of her blog as well and love her down to earth everyday posts. I went to Stonehenge back in the 80's. In all honestly I can't remember whether we were allowed to touch the stones or not (maybe not as it doesn't seem that memorable a visit for me). I do like the sound of Avebury though. That will definitely be something I'll be looking into. xxx PS - I'm still ironing :(Everyday life at Number 38https://www.blogger.com/profile/12945846951398052455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101883877426552626.post-86009793976516626122015-08-31T21:21:09.178+01:002015-08-31T21:21:09.178+01:00So glad you had a lovely time.

And we didn't pay to go into the abbey ruins when we could see them pretty well from the road running around the site. Even though we live in Dover we only ever visit the castle if we can afford to renew our English Heritage membership for that year. The regular entry fee is £18. And I can't remember the last time I went to Canterbury Cathedral. It's not EH and with its £10 entrance it's not on my list of must-visit places. BTW, some of your comment to my last blog post was lost before I got to see it, so don't know if you want to bother trying to rewrite or whether it wasn't important. Are you all ready for the new term or have I mentioned the unmentionable? Enjoy the remainder of the holidays, Love Helen xxHelenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04963972925920465515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101883877426552626.post-6124934462164125882015-08-31T18:50:20.735+01:002015-08-31T18:50:20.735+01:00Good to get away, but really good to get home agai...Good to get away, but really good to get home again.

If you are ever in Wiltshire again, go instead of Avebury (t'other side of Salisbury Plain). A fair few people go there too but you are free to wander, and touch, and experience, and as far as stone circles go it is ENORMOUS - as you probably know, there is a village in the middle of the complex. It's a very special place and makes Stonehenge look pathetic, to my mind . . .Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101883877426552626.post-74270299544542801442015-08-30T11:12:56.317+01:002015-08-30T11:12:56.317+01:00Meeting you all topped off a brilliant week!
