The next day all the photographic evidence has gone. We decided to go to Stonehenge. It was a Sunday and even though overcast and very cold there were crowds there. Even the queue for English Heritage members and those who had bought tickets on line were long. For us ordinary folk not only long but very slow. And of course it was a peak season day so priced accordingly. nearly 50GBP to enter. Decided it was not worth it.
Driving to Stonehenge we noticed a line of campervans on the hill looking slightly down on Stonehenge. So going back we drove into this quite rough gravel road and indeed you could get views of Stonehenge. sadly the evidence has gone. Being in a campervan they would get better views when the Park closed. With the traffic there it is only possible to turn left into the lane when heading west on A303 towards London. But it is free!
Also gone the evidence of the second wedding for the weekend with 2 brides. It was a hoot.
At the first wedding 3 likely lads were giving the bar a fearsome work out. We got talking and when i said before retirement I mainly saw people with heart failure sat down and told me his story. He had a congenital aortic valve problem which was known but it took the hospital 6 months to diagnose bacterial endocarditis. As soon as that was under control he had his aortic valve replaced. I think he got a lot out of our discussion as his doctors really didn't talk to him on his level.
So the next post is our drive back to LHR stopping at the Wisley Gardens.
