The sky was finally cracking. The deep cloud cover was thinning and the glimpse of a possibility of sunshine for the afternoon at Carnac – France’s most amazing megalithic complex – was enticing. We paused briefly at the local creperie at Menec village – feeling like proper tourists, sipping our “boules de cidre” before heading … Read More “Beltane 2014 p3 – Carnac and the Taliesin Quest Pt1” »

On a recent holiday to Brittany I was able to visit some new amazingly tall menhirs, standing stones, and some ones that I had visited before.

We had left Callanish II in a slightly confused state of mind. Callanish III had been lovely, Callanish II the complete opposite.
