This is my penultimate Summer Solstice post. I have one more – a real counterpoint to this story – which will teach me another strong lesson, but we’ll come to that in time. For now, we have arrived at Tintagel – home of all things Arthurian, especially the gift shops – and we have just scoured the town … Read More “Summer Solstice 2013 p10 – Tintagel and Merlin’s Cave” »

When I moved away, I had though that … Read More “Solstice 2013 p6 Tintagel Remembered” »
