Well I've not been on here much this week because since an update I can't get the instance to work on my phone any more. But here are the main highlights of my week.

I know Russell used to be huge in the 60s but can't seem to get a bead on what he's actually like, so no idea how excited this find should make me.)

I know it's not #StandingStoneSunday yet, but I'm really excited that this arrived today ... I was originally after Julian Cope's 'The Modern Antiquarian' but at £275 that was not an option. This one, however, is most excellent and a fraction of the price 💙

Half-Forgotten Places? - 2ruth.blog

A recent peregrination, with an accomplice. St. Edith’s Well, so hidden by foliage and time that it took us half an hour to find, a rusty wrought iron grille barring entrance to the forbidden pool. The Wergin’s Stone, alone in a distant field, all but invisible from the road, caged in shiny angular metal. A […]

Went out looking for #Holywells #springs and #standingstones today ... spent a lot of time climbing gates, puzzling over the OS map, and getting lost in foliage. I do have some pictures of the actual things we found, but not downloaded from the camera yet. My friend, Sara, sent me this pic, and it kind of sums up our adventure 🤣

"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."

New post on my blog 😁
