Italian Visitor at Avebury Stone Circle


This Italian visitor to Avebury now lives in Ireland. She was enjoying her visit to England and a glass of real ale. The landscape of Avebury had its limitations, she said. You walked a bit, and saw 'a pile of stones'. You walked a bit more and there would be 'another pile of stones'. Never before had I heard Avebury Circle described as 'a pile of stones' but she had a point, and she certainly expressed it amusingly. In days of yore the locals broke up the stones to make building materials, and so they didn't overdo the reverence and awe. They probably just said, 'here be a handy pile of old stones'.
