Exploring the Wiltshire countryside

Today we drove through the country side and saw two chalk horses on hillsides. The first one was the Alton Barnes White horse made in 1812, and the second one was the Cherhill White horse made in 1780. They look really impressive from a distance and up close they are huge. The eye of the Cherhill white horse is 4ft across! We also visited the Avebury Stone Circles. They are a world heritage site. Unfortunately many many years ago they built a village where the stone circles were and the put roads through the circles too. Now they are trying to preserve what is left of the Stone Circles. It was really interesting. For the next two nights we are staying in the town of Bath. It's the only place in Britain where there are hot springs. We arrived in time to do the hop on hop off bus tour around town. We passed Jane Austin's house and several other places where she stayed and wrote some of her books. We stopped at the Sally Lunn shop and had a Sally Lunn bun. It's the oldest shop in all of Bath. The Sally Lunn bun was quite different to what we call a Sally Lunn. It's a large, light bun which they toast lightly and then give a sweet or savory topping. Finn had nutella on his Sally Lunn. I had lemon curd and clotted cream. Yummy :-) We even had our first pub meal for supper (evening meal - dinner is what they have at lunch time). It was good food. Catch you later, Deb & Finn
