Excellent programme and an amazing place. I like the Sunset at Durrington and sunrise at Stonehenge thing - it feels right. It would be the way I would do it if I was in charge of the event! If only English Heritage were letting people visit Stonehenge on Winter Solstice. Sadly I cannot now follow in my ancestors (proposed) footsteps as someone with a clipboard has decreed that it is not acceptable. I find it hard to accept strangers deciding when and where I can celebrate the wheel of life and give thanks for the year. Some people have the magic and some do not. Those with the magic are always smiling inside. So another Winter Solstice at the Nine Ladies beckons. Gazing at Saturn and Mars and willing the sun up in the morning, tears of joy in my eyes, surrounded by my ancient friends, wrapped up warm, connected completely to the earth and in total awe of the Sun. The wheel has nearly turned and Ra is soon to return . . .
Also note on Stonehenge visiting - they are not opening the monument between 19-28 Dec 05 according to the website. Also did you know you can go on special private 1 hour visits to the henge (that you must book) early in the morning or late at night. They let you get around the stones and it is the only time you could be alone there . . .
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
