100 Days of Happiness - Day 25

[dizzojay]

As my birthday fell during the week and I had to go to work, how rude, my birthday treat was saved for today.

We headed off to the beautiful and very old village of Avebury which is unique in that it sits in the middle of a prehistoric stone circle.  It's one of my favourite places in the world; it's steeped in mystery and even better, it has the most gorgeous pub that serves food to die for!

So after a very delicious lunch, we spent a nice afternoon peacefully wandering around the circle and soaking up a little of the atmosphere.




Lovely pub!

Here's an ancient old relic.  Oh, and a stone too.

I loved Avebury when I went there many moons ago. One day we'll have to go back to that part of the country and have another look around. Silbury Hill is pretty awesome too.

It's an amazing place, I'm totally fascinated by our prehistory, we have such a wealth of riches!
