off to England again

why don't you go to Avebury instead of Stonehenge ? it's MUCH more interesting in my opinion. and you probably won't be crowded out by rude people like often happens at Stonehenge.

I second the Avebury vote. It's a lovely place.

Bex is right. Ain't nobody giving blow-by-blows on Avebury to speak of, and I think there's a pub in the middle of it anyway. (Avebury is a huge ring, and the village wasn't built in it per se, but without reference to it, I think. At least it was built before any village existed and they overlap.)

jc is ok but I'm going to see twelfth night in Novemer which had the same director (Gregory Doran) as the three plays last year

so jealous that you're going to see speaking in tongues great cast i really want to see that it's based on Lantana and I really like that movie also exactly look at that cast it's going to be really good!

hear John is really great in Le Cage too

Have a brillaint time hope it's not too cold for you

Fiercely jealous! And what a day in London! Oh, have fun, and give us travelogues. Sigh.

I liked Avebury, too -- maybe less visually striking than Stonehenge, but more freewheeling when I was there. Random drum circle hippies over in one part, sheep wandering in another, and you can walk right up and hug the stones ("can you feel the vibrations???" I was asked). No... I didn't... but I was also warned they're fertility inducers, so watch out for that... ha.

What? No Anglo-Flick-Con?

Woohoo! Have fun there, and give us a detailed travelogue. I saw 'As You Like It' in June and thought it was wonderful (and I can't wait for November to begin, because that's when I'll be seeing Mr. Barrowman in 'La Cage').

Have fun! Sounds like a great plan.

I am going to London for a long weekend next Thursday, back here Tues...all to see a band play (I am Kloot) since they haven't come to the US yet. Otherwise, I anticipate having dinner and ale at the French House and walking along Regents Canal with the friend I'm staying with.

Must be something in the air for travelling right now. Cheap flights, perhaps? ;-)

Cool crisp weather? You never know, you may be lucky - the weather actually hasn't gotten too bad yet over here (I am English, obviously - colour, honour and etc) but you could end up with freezing drizzle at that time of year!

Here's a tip - if you go to Oxford you need to go a pub called the Duke of Cambridge (in Oxford, yes - it's google-able) and have a Bloody Mary - they make the best BM's I've ever had in my entire life!

@ Kim:

"...they make the best BM's I've ever had in my entire life!"

OK, if that was deliberate, shame on you. If it was inadvertent--I'll just sit here and quietly snigger.

You'll have to snigger, then, 'cause I've been sitting here thinking and I have no idea what you mean. Perhaps it's an Americanism?

A quick Google tells me it's an acronym for bowel movement.

Enjoy your trip Mary Ann!

I've been back to see As you like it and Julius Ceasar because I enjoyed DT's appearances so much.

Julius Ceasar is an excellent production and stars Sam Troughton. He's very good.

I saw John Barrowman in La Cage friday night, so i can tell you that you're in for a proper treat!

I also saw As You Like It and Julius Caesar on the strength of having seen DT last year. Enjoyed both and was totally taken with Sam Troughton.
