Return of the High Priestess

All hail the High Priestess returning to her ancient haunt of Stonehenge to examine how it is holding up. She ordered me (her slave) to hire a care and together we travelled to Salisbury Plain to have a look around. We took an audio tour of Stonehenge in the freezing cold and rain - I am sure that, with the wind chill factor, it was about five below zero. The canteen made a fortune selling hot tea and coffee. We then travelled to Bristol to catch up with Sharon's nephew who is living and working there and had a good look around the town, Finally we drove to Wales where we will spend some time looking around. Basically, we have rented a car for a few days to drive around the countryside and get a look of life outside of London. We ended up buying a GPS as the rental company did not provide any and we thought it would be a good investment - plus we got so lost it was the only way we were going to find our way around. We intend using it in Ireland and Europe when we get there and then back in Australia when we return - they are great and I thoroughly recommend them. After America it was great getting in a car and driving on the right side of the road even if it was down narrow country lanes that will only fit one car at a time.
