What We Did Last Week: 8

[poliphilo]

We went back to Avebury on the Sunday morning- on our way home.

I took some pictures: they're OK, but Avebury can't be photographed....







Still, that's never going to stop me trying...

Thanks for the wonderful photo tour of your recent travels. I especially enjoyed the photo of Ailz with the baby, and also this one of her at the standing stone. Those rocks are huge!
By the way, how do you pronounce Ailz's name? I know two Aileens, one calls herself A-leen, and the other calls herself I-leen? How does your wife call herself? I believe it is important to pronounce a person's name properly, even if only in one's mind.
Oh, your England! The way you present it in your photos is so appealing.

And that's not the biggest of them.

Ailz is A-leen. But since it's an unusual name she gets called all sorts. It annoys her to to be mispronounced.

I can relate to Ailz's feelings. My name is Janice (pronounced Jan-iss), but some people have called me Jan-eess. Long ago I shortened myself to just Jan to avoid mispronunciations, and guess what? Now, some people call me Jane. Cant win! (Laughing).

It wouldn't occur to me to pronounce your name "Jan-ess". I mean that's an "i" in there; why should I sound it as an "e"? :)
