Absolutely brilliant day today when we toured the ancient sites of Wiltshire with my Canadian family. First stop was Stonehenge where this image was taken. This is Robin and Lauren taking photos of a guy who was on his own and trying to photograph himself and the stones, oh yes a selfie. Struggling a bit we said shall we do it so we did with his phone and his camera. In return he took our photo of the 5 of us in-front of Stonehenge, below. Afterwards we thanked him and I asked his name. It was Temple. How cool is that, to pick the one man at Stonehenge who's name was most appropriate, A Temple in fact.
After this excitement we needed refreshment so ended up at the Waggon and Horses at Beckhampton within the Avebury landscape. This 17th Century pub was the inspiration for the hostelry scenes in Dickens 'Pickwick Papers. It still seems ancient and unchanged 2 centuries later.
Finally it was to the Avebury stone circles we went which inspired us to take this image of the family. Wiltshire rocks!
