A Cracking Pair

This morning on BBC 6Music, Gideon Coe played French Disko by Stereolab followed by At the Chime of a City Clock by Nick Drake. If a finer and more diverse pair of recordings have ever been played back to back on British radio I would like to know. It delayed my shower by ten minutes as I stood in awe and wonder but it was worth it.

I would recommend Avebury standing stones. They are not on the scale of the towering Stonehenge stones but there are more stones and they are spread over a huge area. It is an imposing and mysterious place and with Silbury Hill, a giant artificial mound, yards away, the atmosphere of the surroundings is incredible. Just what were those prehistoric cats playing at? Avebury has a cracking vegetarian café too. Their Somerset brie and cranberry sauce sandwiches washed down with a rhubarb and apple juice were a joy.
