For those of our friends on here who aren't on Facebook and therefore won't have seen the announcement on there, it gives me great pleasure to announce on RCMB, the place where it all began, that Kate and I are now engaged to be married. |

John took me to Avebury and there, among the ancient standing stones, he asked me to marry him. :-) |

That's fantastic news! He didn't sit you on the Devil's Chair at Avebury and go down on one knee to propose, did he Kate? (I know Avebury well) Lots of love, light and happiness to you both (oh, and plenty of horror too - but only the fictional kind) ![](http://www.knibbworld.com/campbelldiscuss/clipart/kiss.gif) |

Aww, many thanks to all of you! Caroline, alas, we don't know the Devil's Chair! But we were up on the hill, midway through the circuit of the stones, overlooking them all, when he said the magic words to make me his. I'm sure I felt the Elder Gods stir in approval. ![](http://www.knibbworld.com/campbelldiscuss/clipart/wink.gif) |

"Caroline, alas, we don't know the Devil's Chair!" Here's a picture of it! I think it's on the *south* side of the inner circle. It has a natural ledge inside which gives it its "chair shape". There are two bits of folklore associated with it: (1) on May Day, a maiden should sit in the chair and makes a wish - normally to do with finding a future husband or losing her virginity (or both!) (2) if you run round it anti-clockwise 100 times you'll summon the Devil (or suffer a coronary!) Anyway, here's a pic:
