            Not a haunt of mine, but I knew an artist who moved up there to live. He now sells paintings of the period on Facebook. What with that, and the annual Stonehenge festival, there was quite a lot of counterculture around the area. It was always a pretty good place for musicians as well. Funnily enough, where I live now is about twenty minutes from worthy farm, the site of the Glastonbury festival.

                  For your question on clear acetate, I'm on the other side of the world so acquiring that item may be different from where you're from. There's a license plate shop that has discarded sheets that I can get some. Art shops are another...old CD cases are another source and if you're into scrounging vacuum packing on products can be a source too but attaching them will need othe types of glues.

                  Cheers,
                  Richard
                  Cheers Richard ✌️ Rob.

                            Pompey Girls have long been my 'go to' refuge for comfort in trying times - mind you, all of the areas with a Navy (Army and RAF) presence have served to 'help me' through those darker moments - then I learnt not to drink Guinness!

                                Aah Pompey, I lived in Farnham for some years, and worked in the dockyard on the construction of the new Mary Rose Museum in 2010/11.
                                Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.
