Oops forgot to say I do like visiting churches and cathedrals though. Bliss!

Have to say I’m with you on the stately building thing. My daughter always says if you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all. I just like wandering about places I visit. I never do official tours they bore me. I like to sit and people watch with a coffee and a cake or whatever the local delicacy is.

I’ve never seen any of these stones in the North and I haven’t been to Cornwall either. I bet next time you come back Suzanne there’ll be a McDonalds or Aldi next to them. Well unless Bill Bryson stops them.

I’ve always wanted to go to England…it’s my ancestral home. That & the fact that I could pretend I’m Elizabeth Bennett in Pride & Prejuidice.

But very cool to see all the old stones – the ancientness of it.

I would love to own a country home there with sheep grazing on rolling green hills & a pig I could call Babe.

Thanks so much for sharing these old posts!

Much love from an overseas Army wife,
Jennifer

Beautiful photos, Suzanne. I have never been to England so I’ll enjoy it vicariously through you. Thanks for reposting these for us newcombers to your blog and have a great vacation, wherever you are!!
Best, Barbara

Wow, no wonder my mother once commented that there are ALOT of weird people in England. I also like best the myth that the girls turned to Bronze for dancing on the way to Vespers – maybe they need to do that again, today, to get people back to church. LOL Church attendance in England is PITIFULLY low, I am told. And, last but not least…yes, those monuments would be destroyed here, sadly…even the Bonnie and Clyde monument is all shot up – people did some target practice on it. LOL

What I loved about my trek through the English country side was that even though many of the stones and ruins were on private land, you were allowed to walk to them, sometimes with just a sign saying, “Please close the gate”. What a lovely idea – sharing your history!

Since now I know that you like stone circles- Have you read the Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon?

My sister got married in a village from a 1960s TV show “The Prisoner” called Portmarrion, in Wales. We stayed in London, went on a tour of Stone Henge, Bath, and Laycock. We drove up to Sherwood Forest and then to Wales. If I had not had children waiting for me in California, I NEVER would have come home. The people we met were wickedly funny and very nice, and the sheer weight of the history we walked through was breathtaking.

Thanks for sharing this. It will be like I have been there, well almost…. I was able to go to Poland with my mom several years ago and it is amazing seeing the sites and scenes of another country. Enjoy you well deserved vacation in Florida and just girl time. Blessings.
