You lucky girl! My husband and I went on basically the same trip years ago, one of our favorite trips ever! Did you climb to the top of the spire of the Cathedral? That was the highlight for us, just us and the tour guy, climbing up for a tour of the roof and looking out from the spire over the city. You could see for miles. Looks like you had beautiful weather, too! Great post and pictures!

How wonderful! I love this post and I am so happy to have all the pictures to keep returning to. I would be jealous if you weren’t so good at sharing.

Isn’t Stonehenge a wierd place? It’s out in the middle of nowhere, and it seems both larger and smaller than it should be, somehow. I was quite impressed. Your trip sounds fantastic!

My understanding is that Rothfuss has all of them written already, but they’re being released one at a time (like the Lord of the Rings movies, I guess). I can see why the publishers might do that, but it’s annoying for the readers to know they’re out there, but we just can’t have them!

The only time I’ve been to Stonehenge it was dumping rain and super-cold, so I didn’t spend a whole lot of time out looking at it. Looks like you had a better time.

PS–I knew you’d be buying books when you got to England! Once you start, you can’t stop because there are some covers that publishing companies over there do that are irresistible. I was over there seven years ago and had to buy a whole new bag just to carry the books I “had to buy” in London and Oxford! Enter Waterstones at your own risk.

I’m so jealous! Edward Ruther ford’s Sarum was wonderful–and believe it or not, I didn’t know there was an actual city of that name!
