Salisbury

We stopped in here for a cup of earl grey, sweet potatoe cakes and tomato, lentil and fetta cheese salad (tasted gorgious) and a slice of some lovely chocolate cake. Husband had the chocolate cake, I had the salad. Everything was lovely and husband's eyes popped out of his head at the desserts. They tasted as lovely as they looked and I also got to have a look through the Wiltshire/Salisbury times magazines which had lots of interesting information about places to see and visit.

We picked up a Welcome to Salisbury 2012/13 Tourist Information map from the Tourist Information Centre, Fish Row, Salisbury. Tel: 01722 342860 from the Milford Hall Hotel, the receptionist was very helpful in advising us of places to visit like the market and various clothing shops (there are a lot of good ones like Kew, WhiteStuff, and the Crew Clothing company dotted around, when i say good, selling practical comfortable clothes that look like they will last and at a reasonable price.

We hadn't booked anythiing and were planning to drive back home late at night if nothing was available. But virtually all the hotels and b&bs had vacancies, but as it was nearing 9pm we decided the Milford Hall Hotel we passed which had a large customer car park and a 4 star AA rating advertised on the front was worth a try.

The last time I visited Stonehenge I was about 8, but I had vague memories of it being wet, grey, a stone like visitors' building and my Dad being very impressed with the organisers leaving a bowl of water outside for the dogs. It's been several years since then and after watching Tess of the D'Urbervilles
