Asked by @AgnesCPoirier to show her l'Angleterre profonde tomorrow, I will - of course - be taking her to Wiltshire.
On the tour: a Mesolithic sacred spring, a top secret MOD facility turned cannabis factory, a paedophile slave owner's folly, & memories of King Alfred.
To Wiltshire!
At Blick Mead, where Mesolithic settlers set up camp beside a sacred spring, Guinevere retired after losing Sir Launcelot, & from which pilgrims will be leaving next week on a solstice journey to Avebury.
The eastern portal of the #StonehengeTunnel will be built on its doorstep.
Why did I ever leave?
I show @AgnesCPoirier a cricket ground #LAngleterreProfonde
In which @AgnesCPoirier is overcome with excitement at visiting the site of Eðandun, where Alfred defeated the Danes, saved Wessex, & laid the foundations of England #LAngleterreProfonde
I show @AgnesCPoirier another cricket ground
I show @AgnesCPoirier another major megalithic monument
