The B&B I'm staying at in Glastonbury has internet access so am able to blog and share my day with you! Aren't you lucky - or not!!
Anyway, today has been brilliant even though the weather has been cold (bloody freezing!),wet, wild and windy. It didn't dampen my spirits and in a strange way, loved it even more because of the weather.
Had to be at Stonehenge by 8am for my special access. Was pleased to see that besides myself, there were only 3 other people. As we walked towards the stones, I became really overcome with emotion. It was strange and I really didn't think I'd be affected like that! Had to hold back the tears. We had an hour to walk around the stones so it gave lots of time for photo's as well as quiet contemplation. Being up close, you are really taken by the magnificance of the place. It is a totally different feeling from when you wander around the path and look at the stones from a distance. There is definately something - energy - but you really only feel it if you are amongst the stones. Throughout the hour I was close to tears (did let a few tears fall when no-one could see). Whilst I was there, I spotted a bird of prey hovering in the distance. It took me back to when I was exploring around Tintagel and spotted the Red Kites hovering. Most of you will say it's co-incidence, some of you, like me will believe it's synchronicity. I couldn't tell exactly what type of bird of prey it was, but do think I need to contemplate on the message.
I could go on and on, but I'll save that for another post, before I go on to talk about Avebury, here's some photo's I took today:

Avebury was very different. I wasn't as overcome with emotion as Stonehenge, but I still felt it's affect. Because it is so vast, it took a bit of time to "connect". It too is amazing - the sheer scale! Here's a few more photo's:

By the way, they are of different stones and trees. For some reason at Avebury, I was enchanted by both the stones and trees!

Tomorrow I'll be exploring Glastonbury, so will let you know how it goes and show a few more photo's.
