That's the entrepreneur spirit that made this country great. To be fair, they have a really good book selection in there, as well as the more "esoteric" stuff. I think I should learn to knap flint though, I'd never have to work again.

Aye, i'm only teasing really, they do have a decent selection of books, and I always love going in there for a mooch about anyway.

What a great place for a game of hide and seek [or hide and hide].

I assume the stripe up the hill seen on this recent visit (15 December) is part of the damage? Or is there further scarring as well? The view is from "round the back" (Avebury). http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/114853/silbury_hill.html

Yes, there'll be an even more striking image of it on the Journal tomorrow morning.

I'm no different to most people I wouldn't have thought, but it amazes me how many people I meet who have never heard of Avebury let alone Silbury Hill. I wonder why that is?

The flooding around Avebury is really quite scary, I have never seen anything like it - even 2007 wasn't anything like this year. Why anyone would want to wade through quite deep water to climb up Silbury is beyond me.

Because contrary to our passionate interest, most people couldn't give a rats, even when this stuff is explained to them – N.F.I. in common parlance. That's been my experience anyway.
