Okay. So we are in Salisbury. Where else would we go besides Stonehenge when in Salisbury? Nowhere, so we went there. <\/p>\n

The monument people do a pretty good job with their interpretive centres, making the whole thing an experience, rather than a wander around a bunch of rocks. It is a rather imposing collection of very large rocks and not surprising that it is a popular spot with tourists. <\/p>\n

\nThe weather has been excellent on this leg of the trip. It rained the first day we arrived in London and has been fine since. Perfect for the outdoorsy stuff.<\/p>\n

More old broken stuff after Stonehenge, with a trip to Old Sarum, the original site of Salisbury before someone decided to move closer to the river and build a cathedral there. Old Sarum never recovered and Salisbury never looked back.<\/p>\n

Is there a new Sarum? This one’s broken.<\/figcaption><\/figure> 
\nLate lunch, saunter around a market, collect the washing – has to be done even on holidays – and back to the farm to regroup. Filled in an hour with a stroll down a country lane looking at the quaint cottages, picked some blackberries and reflected on life (just ate the blackberries really, but reflecting on life sounds cool). <\/p>\n

Must be 1960s architecture, it has a beatnik hairdo.<\/figcaption><\/figure> 
\nThat was pretty much how the day went. Emily and I went out on a late sortie to view the regimental badges carved into the hillside (hard to explain, see the picture).<\/p>\n

 \"\"<\/a> 
\nTomorrow, Avebury and Bath. <\/p>\n

Until then, cheers. Steve J.<\/p>\n
