A delightful story, and I appreciate the local "flavor" you added. I wish I had been able to see Stonehenge before it was roped off. Sigh. I shall oblige to give you due respect as a writer. The addition of the photos is a nice touch.

Danny, I see your resemblance in Herward the Wake image, especially the shorts/tunic outfit and your legs!
