learnteachIt's so nice that weather's been appropriate for each country!
Poem:
Cross Children Walk.
Happy Children Ride.
--Ogden Nash
Took a sudafed, mostly worked. Saw Solsbury hill in passing, but in the English town with no hot tubs named Bath and famous for the Spa (and the Rich Social Center for about 75 years at least) doesn't have any notice of the hill.
Stonehenge is smaller than you think. Avebury was surrounded by sheep, but has much more cool. All but one of the chalk horses are post 17th century; the Kiwi is WWI, and there's even a Mi wllenial Horse. But Salsibury is cool, as is Lacock (small village with old slate houses) and CastleCoomb (Castle burned down, as did the main tea room, and defines "quaint"). Back in Kew Gardens, heading onto the travel vortex. British news is cool. Must eat more cheese. Stilton! Roquefort! CHEDDAR! ANd next time, go to Wookey Hole for the Mirror Maze...
It's a truth that you figure out what you want to do when you're in an area after about 3 days, by which time you're usually moving on. SO, next time, climb Solsbury Hill, take the river tour, spend more time in the Cotswolds towns, boat down the Avon to the harbour, reverse tracing the bluestone route. Hold a Pratchett Tea. Plan the assualt on the theaters better.
After all of that, have I planned for Copenhagen at all? Ha! But Deeeeeeeeeena! Yay!
