Going West: St David’s Head

It is a beautiful walk along the cliffs towards St David’s Head. The land is covered in an incredible variety of wildflowers, from the pink pompoms of thrift to the tall spires of foxgloves. The starry flowers of sedum nestle … Continue reading

Dear Don: ‘lunatic fringe’…

Dear Don, As a proud member of the lunatic fringe, anything I might say would be complimentary. Seriously, if thinking for yourself… even being at a tangent to reality… gains you that epithet, then I just wish there were more … Continue reading

Going West: A Field of Peace

We gathered by Whitesands beach, just outside St David’s in Pembrokeshire… a small group of people from all walks of life, putting aside the cares and pressures of the daily grind to explore the sacred landscape of Wales. A time … Continue reading

Dear Wen: ‘lunatic fringe’…

Dear Wen, Ah, I have it… It was dusk. I even have some photographs, taken during our brief sojourn, of the moon. Perhaps then, it is a sort of ‘Moon Madness’ from the lunatic fringe of the moor, as it … Continue reading
