The Barge Inn and Crop circles

Aliens and hippies.. Hmm a dubious mix, however, we were impressed to visit The Barge Inn as it is self proclaimed centre of Crop Circles. So.. Like good little gypsy travellers.. We took the advice and sought it out.

It was like a scene from an old western when we walked in. All conversation stopped and eyes pierced into us.. Age tried the area 51 apple cider.. Braver than Zi - it was bright orange.. And I had flight of fairies...( how could I not?)

The bar was a masterpiece and well worth the trip alone. I've tried to capture it on film, but its so extensive.. And strange.. I'm not sure it works.

It was a shame its too early in the season to see any actual crop circles, but there were plenty of photos and we could see one of the famous Wiltshire white horses chalked into the hillside.






Stourhead

A world famous garden with a mansion and unbelievably 2600 acres of woods, gardens, lawns and lakes... It was well worth making the trip to revisit.

Hard to choose my favourite spot.. But here are some photos.






Salisbury Cathedral

So excited to revisit this grand old place, even more so to meet the sister of long time friend, Margie, who works here as the lead guide.
 




Morgan and Lilly lit candles and prayed for healing mercies for Adrian.



We went to the Magna Carta, which gave me chills, reading it and looking at it. I am loving this rediscovery of places Ive been.
