I love these letters so much. I'm an American who lives in the UK and it's nice to hear from someone else from back home what they think about being over here.
I loved reading this. I live in America at the moment but England is my home and I that area close to Avebury is there I am from. Leaving there to move to the US was incredibly hard, something I explore in my writing ( my new book, The Giant on the Skyline, is in some ways about these stones and that ancient ritual landscape) . I feel closely tethered to the landscape of Avebury, despite the fact I now live in DC, and I absolutely loved reading your words on it all. Thank you
I had tears in my eyes when I finished this--thank you. The writing was so lovely that I felt like I was a Borrower along for the journey to a mysterious land.
I remember reading somewhere- I think it was in Hugh Raffles' memoir The Book of Unconformities, which is about stones- about the folk belief that stones can be pregnant. Such a totally strange idea.
I'm not sure any town has made me feel like I was stepping back in time as much as Lacock. I just visited not long ago, and I'm embarrassed to admit that I did not notice the giant topiary cat!

This is so lovely! I've never really felt a pull to go to Stonehenge, but now I think I might.

I'm now obsessed with stories in my head about the Stonehenge crows and the cat topiary/bartender situation. So good.

I’m so glad. It’s really wonderful.
