Posted on September 18, 2020 by Sue Vincent

This was the third dolmen we had visited in three days whose name tied it to the legendary King Arthur… and three times three is a magical number. It is certainly a magical site and quite unexpected as you walk … Continue reading →

Going West: Deep Magic…

Posted on September 2, 2020 by Sue Vincent
