Our route back from Birmingham took us near Stonehenge, at which point Ginger declared “Rebbie will never forgive me if I don’t go see it.” I will admit to being reluctant, and to be honest I think my fears were confirmed. It was far too organised and touristy to be a spiritual experience, I mean why is the grass mown? Did the ancients have lawn mowers? A few sheep to keep it in check perhaps. No majesty, no grandeur, just a pile of big stones. Copyright © 2008 Gary Allman, all rights reserved Similar Posts
