Wonderful time. So good to see friends and meet new ones.

The highlight, of course, being Jimit's lovely prize. We hope he's getting over it.

Jamie took us 'round their area Sunday to see Stoney Littleton and Stanton Drew complex. Fascinating, although we didn't notice anything like baking heat. The bright sun did a good job of illuminating the barrow interior. Jamie got to say hello to some lambs. Amy was the perfect hostess after our expedition. Loie enjoyed meeting cats.

Monday our very long time friend Craig came out from London and we toured around. On the way to pick him up in Swindon, we attempted to see the ring at Winterbourne Basset, but wet weeds and grass too high to muck about in. The churchyard at Biddeston was the most picturesque we've yet seen. Excellent lunch at the King's Arms in Monkton Farleigh, a Beautiful Village and home of quite an impressive manor house. Saxon church well worth a visit to Bradford on Avon. Several things there closed too early for us to see the interiors, but a lovely town. We watched a cricket match for a few minutes without being able to appreciate the finer points of the game. Craig was no help on that. Home made pies made for quite a good supper during the Pub Quiz in the Bunch of Grapes. Was that place hopping!

Altogether, one of the best visits ever. Thank you to everyone, one and all. We promise to get to Winchester cathedral next time!
