Posted on October 22, 2020 by Sue Vincent

We were out long before dawn, driving the few miles to our rendezvous at Fox House, where we would meet our companions. With Sheffield behind us, we saw the sun rise above the distant horizon and watched its soft gold … Continue reading →

Finding the path…

Posted on October 22, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Posted on October 20, 2020 by Sue Vincent

A herd of deer were outlined against the far horizon as we followed the path, leading our companions across the moor to where it joins the track that runs above Bar Brook. The stream gathers the peat-stained water from the … Continue reading →

Circles Beyond Time ~The Standing Stone

Posted on October 14, 2020 by Sue Vincent

We had brought the group here for just two stones. Nothing as visually spectacular as the wonderful dolmens we had seen in Wales, but to a quiet, green glade that always feels as if it is waiting and where a … Continue reading →

Circles Beyond Time~ Sleeping Stones

Posted on October 10, 2020 by Sue Vincent

It is difficult to describe the feeling when we arrived at ‘our’ stone circle. The last time we had been there, we had spent hours in the landscape, just sitting and absorbing the feel and the vibrant serenity of the … Continue reading →

Going West: The Painted Church

Posted on October 2, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Bull-Coyote…

Posted on September 30, 2020 by Sue Vincent

* Coyote was going along… As usual he was ravenously hungry. He passed by Buffalo-Bull and noticed his size. ‘No lack of sustenance there,’ he reasoned. “Couldn’t you make me into a Bull?” asked Coyote. Buffalo-Bull ignored him. “If I … Continue reading →

Going West: The Talking Stone

Posted on September 29, 2020 by Sue Vincent

While I was researching the cathedral at St Davids, I came across a couple of legends that caught my fancy. Both of them concern Llechllafar, the talking stone. The name just by itself was intriguing… where did the emphasis lie? … Continue reading →

Going West: The Accidental Tourist

Posted on September 28, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Frankly, I thought it appallingly bad planning. Could the town not have chosen a different day to ceremonially install their new mayor? It isn’t as if we hadn’t advertised our itinerary for the weekend, culminating with a visit to the … Continue reading →
