Summer Solstice at Stonehenge 2008

Just back from Stonehenge and England brought in summer in her stereotypical fashion-cold grey and rainy. However we did get several blessings

* Our 5 1/2 month old was very serene even in the cold and we had so many comments and complements about how sweet and calm he was and they loved that he was in a mei tai either on my back and on my husband's front.

*My husband got a lot of attention while he was caring our son, (granted it was after sunrise and people could see them better) and my husband gave the off handed comment to a man with a walking staff that he could use one of them as the grass and mud were very slippery and the umbrella that he was using as a cane wasn't cutting it. The man, who had walked all the way from Glastonbury with it, just up and handed it to my husband and said "Here ya go, you have it." He gladly used it the rest of the morning and has now stated numerous times that he's going to take it anywhere we move.

*We were by the Heel Stone and a man was admiring my husband and son and wanted a picture, and my husband obliged and posed. As a gift he gave our son a very clear and, according to the man, world travelled crystal. I was so pleased and grateful I asked and then hugged the man, and then in return he gave both my husband and myself a crystal each!!!

*As is usual there were reporters and photographers there, and one very respectfully asked us to pose with the stones in the back ground. We ended up with a nice family photo and one with just my husband and son artfully posed. He took our family email addy and sent us them almost right away.

*More people than I can remember wished blessings on us and our baby--mostly our baby, but that is fantastic for me!
