An Evening in Salisbury

Hello,

Over half way through the week now. I'm off to Salisbury tonight to babysit for my Niece (5 yrs) and Nephew (11 months). She' s off for a night out into Amesbury with her husband and I'm left holding the baby (literally!).

I love the Wiltshire area. The first time that I visited it was with our company on our Stones and Bones day tour (Stonehenge, Salisbury, Old Sarum Castle, Avebury and a pub lunch in the price). Funnily enough not long after that my sister moved there because of her husbands job. I love visiting her there and seeing all of the attractions and beautiful countryside.

My niece has the day off from school tomorrow so I think I'll be a nice little sister and take the horrors away for the morning. She only lives 5 minutes away from Stonehenge so we will probably end up there. My niece loves looking at the 'big stones' and trying to make shapes out of them. We may also end up at Old Sarum Castle, she loves running around the ruins and looking at the pictures of what it once looked like.

After such an eventful morning it will be a drive back to work for me. A well deserved rest from the kids - love them to pieces but its always nice to hand them back!

Did You Know That: The largest prehistoric monument in England is not Stonehenge but the Avebury Circles nearby. Most of the village of Avebury lies within the circle of stones which dates back to 1800 BC.
