We did find St Edith's Well in the end ...and I haven't seen one quite like this before ... but, believe me, we had to battle through some foliage and then there was an iron grate in front of it ... so I couldn't strip off and immerse myself in the water 🤪

"It’s an ancient kinship, this connection I feel to rocks and stones. They stand witness to repeated human passage, waypoints in the landscape, marked across millennia."

A raven on a rusty old cannon
It was the first time I'd ever seen a raven. I was taken aback by how big it was and the macabre croaking and gulping noises it made.
Years later I learned how spooky smart these birds are. Back in the 60s one of them stole the Crown Jewels from a state-of-the-art (think James Bond-level gadgetry) security system. Nobody knew who did it for months.
