A note from the administrator.

I have had to close the forum to new members. Registration is shut. I'm sorry for it - but I can no longer vouch for who comes through the door.

You may also find that certain older topics are no longer where you left them. I have, with great reluctance, removed a small number of threads and posts from this forum. I did so at the written request of a firm of solicitors acting for the landowner, who hold that the material touched on matters they would prefer were not aired in public.

I have complied, because I am one man and they are not. I want it set down plainly, here, that I did so under protest, and that I do not accept the grounds. Nothing removed was untrue. Nothing removed was anyone's business to suppress.

But I will not delete this board. What is left here stays, and you may read it for as long as I can keep the lights on. I have locked the doors; I have not burned the house. I have kept copies of everything. I would ask, gently, that those of you who hold anything of your own do the same.

Snow on the downs!

#1 Post by Ramsbury_Anne »

Snow up top this morning and the whole vale white to the edge of sight. Roy and I went up before it got churned, and the stones at Avebury in snow are something you do not forget. A few photos below. The village children were sledging on the hillfort slope, the same as every generation has, I should think, since there were children and a slope. Some things the centuries do not change. Wrap up if you go out.
