The Initiate…

Posted on November 29, 2020 by Sue Vincent

* I dream of light-flowers erupting from hilltops and wake up feeling refreshed and looking forward to our planned trip to the Uffington hill carving and Wayland’s Smithy despite the gloomy weather. I cannot really blame Wen for this one … Continue reading →

Posted on November 7, 2020 by Sue Vincent
