Solstice of the Moon: Sacred Earth

Posted on November 7, 2020 by Sue Vincent

The weather was looking none too promising for the final day of the workshop, but at least it wasn’t really raining. It seemed incredible, under the heavy grey of the sky, that we’d had the clear weather-window the night before, … Continue reading →

Solstice of the Moon: Circle of Timeless Light

Posted on November 6, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Posted on November 3, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Posted on November 3, 2020 by Sue Vincent

It was quite strange, really. After a brief, initial wander around the inner stones of Stonehenge, marvelling at the scale and workmanship, almost all of the little party of out-of-hours visitors congregated by the storyteller to listen to and question … Continue reading →

Solstice of the Moon: The High Way of the Fairies

Posted on October 30, 2020 by Sue Vincent

We…well, okay, I… decided to take a shortcut from our stopover to our destination. ‘Shortcut’ may not be entirely accurate. Taking the main roads would be nine miles shorter in distance, the roads would undoubtedly be faster and with less … Continue reading →

Solstice of the Moon: The Singing Stones of Duddo…

Posted on October 28, 2020 by Sue Vincent

It was a little further out of our way than we expected… and a little farther off the road too. When we parked the car, there was no sign of the stones, just a sign saying we would need to … Continue reading →

Posted on October 11, 2020 by Sue Vincent

It seems such a long time ago that I wrote about our not being able to leave for the Scottish weekend, right at the last minute. Stuart hopped on a train and came down here instead. While the Pictish weekend … Continue reading →

Going West: A Final Glimpse

Posted on October 5, 2020 by Sue Vincent

We were much later than planned leaving St Davids. All of us had a long way to go before we would be home as we had come together from the far-flung corners of the land. The weather was foul, with … Continue reading →

Going West: A Simple Man

Posted on October 4, 2020 by Sue Vincent
