Avebury is one of Britain's most important prehistoric sites, renowned for the standing stones that punctuate the village and represent the remains of one of the largest Neolithic stone circles ever constructed.
The present village of Avebury was built partially within the old stone circle, which is itself surrounded by earthworks forming a vast circular ditch, a massive undertaking. Almost half the stones of the outer circle remain in some form, mostly on the western side closer to the heart of the village. The huge roughly hewn monoliths are impressive, not least for the effort that must have been required to transport them and erect them here in a standing position.
South of the main circle and village is the Avenue which extends outwards for some distance towards West Kennett. The Avenue is lined on both sides by more standing stones, many of which are missing and generally smaller than those in the circle, but it still makes for a dramatic approach to the site.
My first encounter with Avebury was through a spooky television series in the 1970s called 'Children of the Stones' which was filmed on location here. The memory of the eerie atmosphere of the mysterious stones had stayed with me ever since.

“Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.” Mark Twain
Tonight has put me into all sorts of moods. From saying goodbye to my love, coming home to an empty apartment, watching a couple series of tv shows to fill the gap of my satisfaction for a fleeting moment. Thinking about the entire week and how stressful it has been, all the while eating donut holes and thinking about how I SHOULD be working out or preparing for my "pro bono" photoshoots tomorrow. Somewhere in between Private Practice's emotional scenes and talking with my love on the phone where he has arrived three hours away from me -- I decide to put in Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. Working out has never been fun for me. Today is not the day for that to change. After a quick shower and fussing around with clothes to wear, here I am. Enough of my night... what about yours?
