Birthday Adventure






Well...It was a birthday weekend a couple of weeks ago for the big man and we went adventuring to one of our favourite areas.. the Pewsey Vale in Wiltshire. It was also the first overnight van trip this year and the first time to try and fit all five of us in ! Which we did albeit a bit of a squeeze!
After  at least 5 weeks of nothing but rain we have had a break of hot, hot weather ,from the 19 May  and now back to the rain  . But back to our adventure ......


Knap Hill, covered with cowslips


Finding deer prints, very exciting !



Beautiful woods with carpets of bluebells and wild garlic   





Parked up !


Making  breakfast


More bluebells and twisty vines.
Then we went to visit a little village called Avebury to look at and wonder at the massive stone circle that the Romans built a road straight through to destroy it,s power and then a village was built, even using many of the stones for building materials.... it still has a powerful energy inspite of it  and is well worth visiting. Stonehenge is only about 20 miles from here.We have been here many times.

Nice bike!
And I just love these stones and am always looking for my own when we are by the sea!
