Dan Cruickshank - he also da man

I've just seen the last in the series of the brilliant "Around the world in 80 wonders", written & presented by Dan Cruickshank. Maybe its the shank thing, but I had the same feeling of hope after watching the film Shawshank redemption. Its the sense of wonder that Dan Cruickshank gives as he describes each of the, hmm, wonders that is humbling. Humbling because with his help we are shown how mankind can, if it wants to, really get its act together and produce things of immense beauty and pathos.

Today, bizarrely enough, I saw a wonder worthy of inclusion in the series, although because I missed the start of the series so I don't know if it made it. My wonder is one that is practically on my doorstep, my wonder is Silbury Hill.
