Stonehenge











Last Sunday we took advantage of a (relatively!) fine afternoon to have a quick walk around Stonehenge. As always, there was quite a lot of people there. The light was quite dramatic at times. On the way home we had a quick look around Amesbury, a town we usually just drive straight through, en route to and from the A303.








For Easter, we will be making a last trip to Jersey, catching up with friends and relatives, and eating lots of seafood!

Salisbury snow




England has just had its heaviest snowfall in 20 years. Here in Salisbury we had 24 hours of snow, some of it being quite heavy Today we have had a light snowfall, but it is still very cold. However it makes for some great photo opportunities, especially looking across to the cathedral from the Harnham water meadows.




The main roads are clear, but side roads look very dangerous, with a mixture of snow and ice. Ambulances are only responding to serious emergencies, and London's public transport has ground to a halt.


We are crossing our fingers that Mary will be able to go Salisbury hospital on Saturday, for what we hope will be the final chapter in the saga of the broken ankle!
