Pic of the Day: A Dream Fulfilled
I have written a few times about the need to set specific Life List goals and work to achieve them -- No Opportunity Wasted, as TV presenter Phil Keoghan would say.
A lifelong dream of mine -- since early childhood -- was to walk around the stones at Stonehenge. It was a mystical thing, and reinforced every time I watched a documentary on England, or Stonehenge itself.
As we approached our plans for our 30th Anniversary, we decided upon London for our next adventure. We'd been there for a few days in 2001, but otherwise never been to the UK. But to me, Stonehenge was a must-do.
We discovered one very specific tour which would allow you to wander the grounds, and immediately booked. At 54 years of age I am still, thankfully, capable of awe and wonder.
Stonehenge did not disappoint.
(I will blog a lot more details of our visit at some point in the next few weeks.)
