smokingbootDidn't watch the live streaming yesterday, can't imagine how that would work.
I recall one particular summer solstice when I was at Stonehenge, close to a specific stone. Placed my hand against it, something happened, difficult - perhaps impossible - to describe without sounding like a lunatic, but extremely positive. For this reason, I dismiss words on the matter, only to say that no intoxicants were involved, nor was it a part of the group experience.At some point I would like to return and try again. The other thing that might be interesting would be to touch the same stone at Winter solstice, see if anything similar occurs. But eh, flights to the west country? Swindon airport?
Let's park that one for a while.
It was a sweet day yesterday, R and I went for a proper walk, picked up a bit of litter... It's sad to see that more humans = more crap strewn everywhere, but that was the only tiny downer about the day. The nature reserve or park or whatever it is remains very pretty, all silver birch and beech and hawthorn, lots of willows because it's just that bit boggy...probably why it hasn't been built upon. Wild pea and tiny orchids among the wildflower hoards. Left a little something out for the fair folk last night as one does.
And here we go, through the gates of Summer!
