Fancy spending a night under the stars – literally under the stars with at least enough people to fill the London O2 Arena to capacity? You won’t be allowed to take a tent or sleeping bag, just a poncho.

Those Dammed Hippies!

I went to Stonehenge last June to celebrate the Summer Solstice. I spent the night under the stars with the happiest and most relaxed bunch of people in the world. It was a fantastic atmosphere. I intend to go along again this year.
I was 7 years old in 1988 and I can’t remember that the sort of thing illustrated in this news report went on at Stonehenge on the Summer Solstice in 1988. I do remember the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989 – I’ve always wanted to win a piece of the Berlin Wall from Timmy Mallett (Are you reading this Mr Mallett? Do you have any odd pieces left over, stored in a box in the attic maybe? I could give a good home to a piece!).
But then I came across this video. It surprises me so much that things have become so peaceful and calm in 20 years.
