Exciting Personal News!

The 11th Solstice lantern procession takes place today. Starting with the ceremonial lighting of the solstice lantern at Stonehenge as sun sets & a walk through @VisitAmesbury to the magical grounds of Amesbury Abbey to see the lantern holding the light until mid winters day.

This is very sad to see. If a museum or history centre is to succeed the trustees need long term security of tenure. Nothing less.

On 1st May 2012 Wiltshire’s Mayors met HM the Queen & Prince Philip at @SalisburyCath. I remember fondly the humour in the conversations. Shortly before this picture Prince Philip had asked me how I could possibly have been the Mayor of “Stonehenge” when “they have no residents”

On Saturday 21st the Solstice Lantern will be lit as sun sets at #Stonehenge capturing the last embers of light from the shortest day & taken to Blick Mead. At 5.00pm a lantern procession leaves Amesbury central car park to find the light & celebrate Mid Winter @ Amesbury Abbey

[Visit Amesbury @VisitAmesbury]

This year’s very special solstice lantern parade from the Central car park to Blick Mead will take place on Saturday 21st December 2019 setting off at 5.15pm. Please note. Lanterns must not contain naked flames.

If you have ever wondered why we make such a fuss about the importance of Blick Mead and the risk it is under with the plans for the A303, set your timers to watch this when it broadcasts later in the month. https://t.co/fyN1P733hU

Lots of A-Z alphabet socks back in stock in assorted colours although we had to cheat and use a D to spell love as we’ve gone and sold out of O #alphabetsocks #initialsocks #ladiessocks #onebrowncowlife #amesbury https://t.co/tLD1O9HhPO

Trying to avoid costly investigation into harm the #StonehengeTunnel could have on the water table at Amesbury @A303Stonehenge have told @PINSgov that #BlickMead spring was “dry” in June. This video taken on 18/6/19 confirms otherwise & the need for proper hydrogeology. Please RT

Another great Summer bag from Brakeburn which is proving very popular, the yellow Allium tote with zip closing top made from durable coated cotton so even if you’re caught in a light shower this bag will still look good #totebag #alliums #yellowbag #yell… https://t.co/AIkDty5Uu4

In 1918 #Stonehenge was gifted to the nation, not ⁦@HighwaysEngland⁩ by Sir Cecil Chubb- a barrister. The gift has strict conditions in line with the restrictive covenants in the deeds to protect its integrity. Why haven’t these been disclosed? https://t.co/QfHEvhG7dT
