Saturday evening in Avebury

Finally time and internet access for some posts from England! We’ve arrived on Saturday after a trip from Maastricht, to Brussels to London to Swindon, where Mike (from Wiltshire Tours) picked us up from the train station. Mike and his partner Sue very kindly offered us to stay at their place in Wootton Basset, which was lovely. The bad news was that at the time we arrived, not a single crop circle had appeared in the Wiltshire area…. So after dinner Mike and Sue took us to Avebury, to the stone circle, see the photos below!

First Circle of 2010

Hi Karin,

First formation of the season has arrived!

 

 I must say that I am very happy with Mike, our Wiltshire tourguide, who keeps us posted and is very helpful in finding our way around, and we are not even there yet! great! thanx Mike!

well, the question that keeps me busy right now is… is this cropcircle made by humans or by some other intelligence?

See you later,

Dees

To do!

Hi Dees,

Isn’t that great! I’m looking forward to our trip already! Out of sheer enthusiasm I started looking for B&B’s and I found two nice ones to start with:

• Monkton Wyld Court who say on their website: “For breakfast, help yourself to cereal, muesli, oats for porridge, milk, soya or rice milk. There are eggs from our own hens for you to cook to your taste and bread for toasting plus a selection of spreads and a range of herbal teas and other hot drinks. Lunch and supper are available by reservation. All our food is vegetarian and almost all organically grown, some right here in our garden.”
• The Royal Oak in Swindon, who have a pub and an organic farm as well (and serve non-traditional veggie food).

There are many more, we should probably start with the Organic Holidays website again! I guess we can search in the areas of Wiltshire, Dorset, Gloucestershire and Hampshire (and maybe a few more). Maybe we should make a to do list as well, for all the things we have to arrange!

I’ve sent an e-mail to Wiltshire tours, hopefully we’ll hear from them soon…

Good night!
