The English Countryside with Dutch Family!

So it has been awhile since I updated on life here. A few weeks back I went to visit my cousin in Marlborough, Wiltshire and meet her fiancee, David, the dapper young man in the photo below.


While we were there, we decided to go to Avebury Henge, which is sort of like Stonehenge only much bigger and the stones are farther apart (so it's not really as spectacular). BUT, you can walk up to them, touch them, bring your dogs, etc. It's much more accessible than Stonehenge and not filled with nearly as many tourists.


Aunt Lucy and Uncle Harry at the first Stone we encountered. It was so great to see them. We've been really blessed that our paths have crossed 3 summers in a row!


Panoramic of the village and the site. The village just sort of spills into the archeological site. they can't really be separated.

And some of the rocks are quite big!
