Walking the Ancient Path in a Modern World
In the third and final part of my Imbolc 2017 story I am making my way towards a new stone circle in the area of Penmaenmawr in North Wales. The sky is blue, and I’m excited about the possibility of seeing a new circle. In fact, as I’m walking I’m wondering why Kal and I … Read More “Imbolc 2017 p3 – Sing the Song of The Raven” »

This was his idea, and I had seen no reason not to accompany him … Read More “Imbolc 2015 – Bride and Crone” »
We weren’t sure how to approach Maiden’s Bower – a turf maze in Yorkshire. Coming from Ripon, down the A1(M) once more, ending up in the village of Topcliffe. In the village we took Winn Lane, which goes back over the A1 road. On the other side there was just enough space to park the … Read More “Winter Solstice 2014 p5 – The Maiden Says Rest Then Quest” »
I have a strange mix of friends. Some people I would never consider introducing to others – they’re friends with widely differing tastes and interests. Every now and again I think two sets of friends would integrate well and I take a chance on introducing them to each other. So it was that Debra Delglyn … Read More “Fun and a Funnel at The Bridestones 2014” »
