About Myself

Why Avebury?:

This section came with the template, so I had a choice of omitting it or writing a little something. You can skip this section if you wish with one click of a mouse button.

I've lived in Swindon for many years, but had been too busy to visit the wonderful historical sites spread across the country. However, in 2012 I made the effort and visited Salisbury Cathedral, Wells Cathedral, Glastonbury, St. Edmundsbury Cathedral, Ely Cathedral, Stonehenge, and Avebury.

Avebury is on my doorstep, and I was amazed with the engineering of these ancient people, so decided to create this website as an appetizer for more people to come and visit the village, or for those that are unable to come, to view more photographs on my website than shown by others. I've not gone into detailed written descriptions because there's sufficient information available if you look out for it. I provide only generally known local snippets of information and some personal experiences from visiting the village on many occasions.

About this website:

I've tailored this template, including the software features, photographsto hopefully show you a good look around Avebury.

This site development has been an enjoyable learning experience for me, and well worth my own investment.

Other hobbies

I enjoy programming and electronics. As in this site, I enjoy passing information to people with enquiring minds. If you are interested then click the link below, and it will take you my second site on YouTube where you can select a series of videos on transmitting data through a ZigBee Network. There's an introduction video, and four videos Part 1-4 in a series. The last one Part 4 also demonstates how to use C# to create a screen display and to print the information to a printer.

My first site on YouTbe contains three videos, the Avebury video (the same video as selectiong the camera icon above), Wayland's Smithy Long Barrow in Ashly (a silent atmospheric walk), and a video on birds having a splashing time in my garden.
