&....the english countryside.


Our last morning in Wales was fantastically sunny, just in time for us to head back to the English countryside.  



The rapeseed (yes, that is a real thing and they make oil out of it) was in bloom. 
And brilliant. In the sun it was almost blinding.



Ok, the Stonehenge photos are from the last time I was there, the light didn't quite compare this time.


The great light came later.


Avebury.
Older than Stonehenge, much much bigger. Right in the middle of this little town..or rather this little town was built right in the middle of this enormous stone circle surrounded by a huge manmade ridge.






A out of place photo of the small bit of Hadrian's wall that we actually found after a serious detour. Complete with sheep.


And Bath. The Crescent. 



The Circus.
