We have sort of fond memories of Anglesey…….. Hubby almost taking off with the tent as an under training hang glider, and Maggie on guard all night keeping the rats away as we’d pitched close to hay bales thinking it would shelter us from the wind. Apart from potty breaks and meal times, the following day she slept for almost 16 hours bless her. Love the serenity of your photo.

My aunt had a cow, and used to make her own butter. I was never asked to milk it though.

It’s incredible how many societies saw “west” as beyond the veil. The Cherokee thought the place known as “the darkening lands”, the place spirits go, lay to the west, similar to how the Egyptians felt about it. This poem reminded me of that sameness in our world outlooks.

The symbolism of the ‘dying’ sun, being swallowed by the earth/monsters/night, seems pretty universal and these are the perfect examples of how symbols speak to us without words.
