Posted on June 26, 2017 by Sue Vincent

The Wyrm and the Wyrd: Stone and bone

Posted on June 25, 2017 by Sue Vincent

I was distinctly sceptical…unsure what to expect when we parked at the entrance to the mines. So many ancient sites, once commercialised, seem to lose both their intimacy and essence, but I remembered watching something about the discovery many years … Continue reading →
