Stonehenge

[milly]

Off to the above on Sunday as we have access to the Stones which English Heritics ( Heritidge ) stopped many dacades ago. As a child I use to play on them and so did my kids but you now have to pay to go in and stand about 50yds away and look but do not touch.
I have a couple of free tickets only 80 worldwide go out for the Gorsedd Cor Cawr, Roughly translated choir of the giant corridor. So off to the daughters after work in Telford Friday and Sunday take her friend Kay who works with me in the summer as she has always wanted to go for the event in the afternoon and get ordained as a Bard being a singer herself. It's an event for Bards and Druids but anyone is welcome to attend. I myself am a Bard.
On the 21 Dec it is open again ( called Open Access ) but it gets really packed with 5,000 odd people.

Well did the stones yesterday and met someone in a service station on motorway after saw he had a sign wanting lift up M5 north and asked him if there was anywhere I could drop him but there wasn't.
Got speaking about places and he mentioned knew a chap in Crondall where I come from called milly. I said yep that's me. I then knew it was a person I use to pick up when travelling the country a lot in my younger days. Was cold one night and put him up and my mum was amazed he didn't want to use a bed and preferences the floor. He had a razor sharp memory and at 71 he still tramps the country staying in a tent or at friends. Said he has no intention of living in a house. No idea of his past as not into asking personal questions but he lives happily like this as a tramp on his pension first picked him up in 1988 and last time was about 2002. He remembered the month and it was near the Scottish Borders. Turns out he knows lots of people our way too.

Saw this and thought it was appropriate for this thread... apparently there were monster cows that might have helped haul the dolerite bluestones to build the henge.
