3/6 – Visit Stonehenge

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Visit the ancient site (http://www.christiaan.com/stonehenge/index.php) built by druids/aliens/Merlin! Explore the fascinating field of Archaeoastronomy! (http://www.christiaan.com/stonehenge/index.php?pg=stonehenge-astronomy). Stop by the gift store to pick up cool Stonehenge necklaces (http://www.stonehengestones.com/)!

Pippi looks around at the standing stones...

She's clearly impressed

So much so that she doesn't even know where she lives anymore!

"Wow," she shrugs in an attempt to straighten out the neck kink gained from looking up at the stones. "I hadn't quite realised how big they were going to be. I'm definitely impressed."

Pippi has purchased a disposable camera and is happily snapping pictures (http://flickr.com/photos/tags/stonehenge/clusters/england-uk-wiltshire/)

"Yeah."

She's pretty much speechless.

Which is saying something with Pippi.

Off in the distance, beyond the standing stones, a gaggle of men in chain armor and tabards prance across the country side followed by servants clapping coconuts together.

An unladen European Swallow flies overhead.

Mac blinks watching the odd group.

Re-enactment maybe? or just crazy. Either way she stands and stares at them openly for a while.

Pippi leans in next to Mac, holds her camera out at arms length and snaps a picture of them both.

"Cheese!"

Man, those flashes are bright

"Woah (http://img321.imageshack.us/img321/3729/rusty0024gs.jpg), I'm seeing little lights everywhere." She blinked some more to clear her vision, and nearly walked straight into a nearby tourist.

"Eeeeeee!" cried the nearby tourist as Mac bumped into him.

He skuttled off waving his arms.

"Oh, I'm so sorr-" she paused and watched the skuttling and flailing.

She considered following the small figure to apologise, but settled on an "Aaw, cute!" comment instead.

Pippi snapped his picture as he ran off.

"I think we just attract strange people and events, it's a by-product of this school." She nodded knowledgeably.

Re: 3/6 – Visit Stonehenge

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"... by-product of the school, yeah." she responded.

Pip nodded as he looked around the magnificent henge. "Either the weirdness follows us or the world is actually just that weird and unusual, but none of us noticed it until we came to Fandom. Personally, I'm leaning towards the second theory."

Re: 3/6 – Visit Stonehenge

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi looked around herself.

"This is a good place for a henge." she observed.

"That probably makes more sense. When you don't know about it it sort of... goes over your head." She peers after the figure again, but he seems to have disappeared now. "At least it makes life interesting."

3/6 – Fly over Stonehenge.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Got loads of money and too good to walk (http://www.stonehenge.org.uk/fly/index.shtml)?

3/6 – Visit Glastonbury

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

They say it’s the new age capital (http://www.glastonbury.co.uk/index.htm) of the country. The place to come to have your runes read, study English paganism or buy a new set of crystals.

3/6 – Chalice Well

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Legend has it that the waters at this ancient spot (http://www.chalicewell.org.uk/) hold healing properties. Also has paths for walking and lovely gardens…probably not in March. Whatever.

3/6 – Glastonbury Abbey

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Visit the ruins (http://www.glastonburyabbey.com/), read the history, see the supposed tomb of Arthur and Guinevere. It also has a duck pond! Just like home only less evil!

3/6 – Psychic Piglet

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Shop here (http://www.thepsychicpiglet.co.uk/) for all your spiritual/new age/hippie needs.

3/6 – The Celtic Thread

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Shop here for all your normal (http://www.glastonbury.co.uk/thecelticthread/index.html) non snowtreehugging needs.

3/6 – Heaphy’s Organic Café

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Hungry? Munch on food (http://www.heaphys.net/) that’s healthy for your body and soul.

3/6 – Knight’s Fish & Chips

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Tired of all this new age touchy-feely crap? Dig into traditional English fare here (http://www.knights-fish-and-chips.com/).

OOC: Ping me to add a thread

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Let me know here if you want me to add something else. Or you know...add it yourself ;)

I'm all out of ooc icons. So here's a picture of my pot of dirt. Yay Hank! Looks like he got to go to London too!
