Interlude ~ Before the Stones

Posted on October 27, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Posted on October 26, 2020 by Sue Vincent

We left Arbor Low and headed back to the village of Monyash and the pub for lunch. Once again, we seemed to have seen and done far more than should be possible in such a short time, slipping across the … Continue reading →

Interlude: Looking Back…

Posted on October 25, 2020 by Sue Vincent

The mere idea of “saving the ‘best’ till last” was feeling all too prophetic. Especially as ‘best’ is debatable anyway.’ Most iconic, perhaps, best known worldwide, most unusual… but just ‘best’ is too subjective. From the magic of mountain-girt Castlerigg, … Continue reading →

We left Higger Tor after the sunrise and headed back to our respective breakfasts. Most would have to pack their bags too, before gathering for a final journey together. We were the lucky ones with time to spare and a … Continue reading →

Circles Beyond Time ~ The Thrice-Risen Sun

Posted on October 22, 2020 by Sue Vincent

We were out long before dawn, driving the few miles to our rendezvous at Fox House, where we would meet our companions. With Sheffield behind us, we saw the sun rise above the distant horizon and watched its soft gold … Continue reading →

Finding the path…

Posted on October 22, 2020 by Sue Vincent

“We should write a book…” Over the wineglasses, it seemed like a good idea. Not that anyone would believe the half of what we would have to recount. Far from exaggerating our adventures and jumping on the bandwagon of sensationalism, … Continue reading →

Circles Beyond Time ~ Dreaming Stones

Posted on October 21, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Circles Beyond Time ~ Inner Circle

Posted on October 19, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Circles Beyond Time – Cairnfields

Posted on October 18, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Circles Beyond Time ~ A Rock and a Hard Place

Posted on October 17, 2020 by Sue Vincent

We left the standing stone and walked back through the gate onto the Edge. Normally we would walk back a different way, but the path is a morass at the best of times and it had rained a lot in … Continue reading →
