Advantages: An awesome piece of history and mystery Disadvantages: None
Stonehenge is more than simply stones as far as I am concerned, and I am sure I am not the only one who feels that way? What can I say that hasn’t been said more than once about the mystery of them? Somehow I feel rather a fraud to be writing an opinion on them, little ol’ me. But this is all it really is, my humble opinion on a rather mystical pile of rocks in Wiltshire.
Before I really get into this op, (and I think this is going to be another one of my epics, if you are going to stay for the whole thing may I suggest you go and make yourself a cuppa now!) I feel I must explain that this op is a mixture of my own personal experiences of this as well as some articles that I came across whilst doing a bit of research about it.

I do not feel we can even begin to touch their skills, and neither can our technology determine precisely how ancient man manoeuvred the stones into place. Please go and see – be touched by your forebears. ...

If you have young children, you most likely know who Dora the Explorer is and all about her talking backpack. This game is on a DVD format, so your child will need a DVD drive on the computer they play it on. This means, if like us, you tarted up a Freecycled PC so your child can leave YOUR PC alone, you will need to fork out a few quid for a DVD player for it.
