A tour of Wiltshire

Today started very sunny and after a walk in the forest we made our way towards Stonehenge. We went through several pretty Villages and made several stops for Mattie to take photos. He loves our old buildings. Vancouver is relatively new and anything 100 years old is really old!It was really hot by the time we got to Stonehenge and after walking around the stones we had an icecream before getting back into the car. Our next stop was supposed to be Avebury but we got slightly lost so stopped to see the White Horse at Westbury. Eventually we made it to Avebury in time for lunch.The sun had gone behind the clouds by now and it was pleasantly warm. We had only driven through Avebury a couple of times before, (when we went to collect Missy as an 8 week old pup) so we were surprised to discover a very pretty village hidden from the main road. Our final stop of the day was the City of Salisbury and a visit to the Cathedral. As we left the Cathedral we heard thunder and just made it back to the car before the heavens opened.
It has been a long day and now it is time for bed.
