Thatch Houses, Lacock, Potter, and More..

The second part of the Stonehenge tour, was a stop at the village of Lacock, which is located in Wiltshire. This place is amazing; it's as if its appearance hasn't changed a bit. It has a great deal of history, that of which I won't go into detail, aside from the fact that it has been the location of a number of films. Included are, The Wolf man, Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter and the sorcerer's stone, and Harry Potter and the half-blood prince.

The First six photos are a short way outside of Lacock.
















From the first film, "Harry Potter and the sorcerer's stone", this is the home of Lily and James Potter. You will see a brief scene of the house when Hagrid recounts the death of Harry's parents to him.













"Welcome to the charming village of Budleigh Babberton".

From, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", this is the home of the muggles where Harry and Professor Dumbledore converse with Professor Slughorn, and convince him to make a return to Hogwarts as potions professor.






















Great tour. If you ever find yorself in Bristol, or Bath for that matter; be sure to go to Stonehenge, as well as Lacock.

Bath, Wiltshire, and in between.

D gets us around on these overseas trips..walked to the bus (train) station, took the train to Bath, then the bus trip to Stonehenge.













































The tour was great; very informative and the sights, amazing. The countryside reminds me of where we live now.

Stonehenge is CRAZY. You drive on this long stretch of road, and the next thing you know, massive boulders just chilling on a large patch of grass. Being so close to something so old (around 2500 B.C.) is really hard to describe. You're just in awe; simply put.

England in general is amazingly beautiful and like nothing I've ever seen. It's like the place has never changed; ever.

Bristol, England day two

On rare occasions, the sun actually reveals itself in England. Such was the case on wednesday. Perfect timing to because it was the day we went on a sight-seeing tour.






We found this little alley way, Christmas Steps, which is said to be haunted. It has some interesting shops; one of which, Angry Daves.









The last thing I'd expected to see was some rare sb's, but we did, in addition to the largest sb box possibly in existence.





It's actually a coffee table, that I will in fact, construct myself in the near future.

















































Rare weather made for a lovely day; this was the first part of what we did.
