the last nesting place for mammoths in the whole of Wessex - Flanders and Swann on Stonehenge
I’d not heard this before. Flanders and Swann were a duo I just about remember that did comic monologues and songs
This is their take on Stonehenge. It’s in the genre of posh people lampooning less posh people, but funny anyway. YMMV!
Well wot’s this then? You’re not going to put up these great ugly stone blocks ‘ere, are you? You can’t do that! I’ve got Ancient Lights on my cave! Well, what is it anyway? A henge? Well, what’s a henge? You may call it megalithic culture, I call it vandalism! I suppose you realise this is about the last nesting place for mammoths in the whole of Wessex?

I don’t think I’ve posted this before. A sketch note/map that i did a few years ago of the walk from Salisbury to Stonehenge
Wish me luck
