Easter Weekend brought a trip with my friend Rachel out to Salisbury and Stonehenge. Salisbury is a lovely town with the piece de resistance of the beautiful and gi-normous Salisbury Cathedral. The cathedral is surrounded by some great period homes, many of which have been used in films and t.v. series. After a very tasty lunch in town, we then traveled out through the gorgeous Wiltshire countryside to see Stonehenge. As it was the Spring Equinox, the place was packed, which took a bit away from the whole ‘mystical’ experience, but it was still incredible to see it. The whole day we’d had pretty ‘mystical’ weather going on with sun one minute, hail the next and then snow showers. We literally had all three of those going on at Stonehenge, so maybe it does have some kind of power! The photo to the left shows the storm clouds rolling in (and an amazingly barren shot, I think everyone else must have run for cover..lol). More photos can be found here.
