Stonehenge

The first time I saw those stones was when I was driving an MGB

towards Cornwall in 1972. I can recall I was diving quite nicely along

the A303 with the hood down when ' they ' appeared on the horizon  !

The memory of this image is still very clear in my mind. Sadly I did not

stop but continued to Cornwall and spent a whole week exploring the

north and south coasts of the county and Bodmin Moor. I wish now that

I had  stopped for if I had i could have walked among the stones and

actually touched them ! Dam it you can't do that now. I went back to

Stonehenge on a trip to England in 2001 and the authorities had found

it necessary to erect a protection barrier around them. Yes indeed

necessary but sad. Nowadays I see many television programs and many

books supporting one theory or another about their construction and the

meaning and I find one matter for sure. No one knows the truth.

 And so their enigma will continue endlessly.....

Its quite nice really don't you think ?
