Well Stonehenge was a little different than I thought. I knew it was off the side of the road, but for some reason it felt different than I had predicted. But it is a cool bunch of rocks. It was a nice day too, just with a chilly wind. Those blue skies are so great here in London.
Some groupies resting by Stonehenge. We stopped and sketched a bit.
Here's a realistic view that I feel you don't normally see. There's a pathway that leads you around it. You can't go in by the rocks at all. The road is just on the other side of it.
Jane Austen's House
On the way home we went to Jane Austen's home. This was the home where she revised Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. And wrote Mansfield Park, Emma and Persuasion. She lived here with her mother, sister and friend. They had costumes from some of the movies- like Emma Thompson's from Sense and Sensibility. They also had some actual items that belonged to the Austens. Here's the front of the house. Of course there was construction in the front. You can see some of the hot orange fencing on the very left side.
