An afternoon of pre-history: Stonehenge, Avebury & Danebury Hillfort. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😃
After 1000s years these monuments need care & to be looked after. However, I feel for the tourists who flock to Stonehenge and get fleeced pre-book and it's £25 ! (£30 on arrival). But in summer peak is £31.50 or £38 !!!

Stand with Zelensky - A true leader & President 🇺🇦
Shame on Trump & Vance the bullies, with that behaviour in the White House today it's not surprising they think they can make a deal with Putin - another bully.
America can no longer be viewed as leading the free world.

Enjoy being out in nature and exploring woods and waterfalls 💚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
