I went there last weekend, didn't see any wights on the barrow either, although I was looking out for them. I think they don't like sunshine ;)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1388','Goldfishgirl'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1388','Goldfishgirl','Lovely photos of Avebury!

Can't wait to spin it up. Several years ago I got to visit Maryhill, Washington (USA) to see a replica of Stonehenge. Only this was a replica of a complete Stonehenge.

]]> Comment on Hampton Court Palace: history brought to life by Shanna http://twoswallows.com/blog/2008/08/31/hampton-court-palace/#comment-1321 Shanna Fri, 26 Sep 2008 23:07:35 +0000 http://twoswallows.com/blog/?p=48#comment-1321 I went to Hampton court last year and was in awe of the feel of the building, it feels as if there's just a thin line between now and then. Just as if you squeezed with your eyes, you'd see 16th century people walk by. The gardens are as beautifull, although I went in October, so all the flowers were put inside the orangerie. Really bummed I missed the exhibition on the clothing btw! Pretty pictures. Love from Holland<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1321','Shanna'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1321','Shanna','I went to Hampton court last year and was in awe of the feel of the building, it feels as if there\'s just a thin line between now and then.

I think you should feel proud for climbing that learning curve so quickly. (Both are beautiful though, IMO.) And anyway, I was just reading that so often experienced spinners attempt to go back and spin thick and thin yarn like they effortlessly managed to do when they were new spinners, and are surprised to find how difficult it is to do. Apparently it requires quite a bit of skill.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1246','Steph'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1246','Steph','Wow, there\'s a very visible difference between the first and second attempt.
