I know it's been said that each generation get's the Stonehenge it deserves, but really ? I should love the place, but i hate it and have very little interest in it. :( I can't say I hate it. Or even dislike it. It's a prehistoric monument after all! And a pretty fantastic one. Its a shame the way it has come to represent ancient history in Britain, being, as Burl (sort of) says, as representational to write about in terms of stone circles as the dodo is in writing a book about birds. But i have so much love for Avebury ! Same here! No contest between the two. Avebury, for me, is dreamland. I still can't quite get over the fact its there and you can walk around it. But I often feel like that, even with a lonely barrow or a dolmen sat in the middle of a field. I'm not saying it never happens but i've never seen anyone knocking lumps off the Avebury stones, yet EH feel the need to protect Stonehenge so vociferously ? Burn the rope and free the soul i say ! I think it's just gone too far now, Stonehenge (Gary) is so ridiculously famous worldwide that I reckon you are right, people would knock bits off it to take home to bleedin, Kansas, or wherever they've come from. (No idea why Kansas popped into my mind then, the mind is a strange machine isnt it?) I do think if they burned the rope and freed the soul, we'd see these buggers stashing bits of sarsen about their camera packs and bum bags. ;) Reply | with quote |  21st March 2013ce 15:15 In reply to: Re: Stonehenge AGAIN!
