Where is Hindon?

The Lamb at Hindon, a historic coaching Inn, is at a cross road somewhere between Winchester Cathedral and Salisbury Cathedral in the QUIET Wiltshire village of Hindon.... the perfect place to park the car and settle in for an evening by the fireplace and a delicious pub meal of Duck Breast or Baked Hake. Truly, the only sound we heard all night was the chiming of the village church bell....every hour, on the hour!
The next morning we woke up to an English breakfast and rain mixed with snow. It didn't seem to bother this rider, or his horse and dog, all decked out in rain gear. I happened to read about the Wilton House Antique Fair not far from Salisbury so we stopped for a look. The house was beautiful, it has appeared in several films and TV shows doubling as Windsor Castle...... well worth a return visit in the spring!

It looks like this was a quiet weekend... just what y'all needed!

Those tree's remind me of Germany ~ they trim them until they look like knots on a witch's nose.
