Meeting The Standing Stones of Stenness
It's a while since we journeyed to Orkney, but it's never too late to share snippets from the journey... Travelling along the main road (which by the by is two lanes - one in each direction) we saw a howe (hillock or knoll) in the middle of a field, and we stopped in by to make arrangements. Further along the road we saw the Barnhouse Stone, protected by fencing in the middle of farmland. As we travelled towards a narrow causeway between the Loch of Harray and the Loch of Stenness, we could ... read more
Highlands and Islands In a Week part 4
The downside of @ having to return to work was missing bosies but the upside was that I got to have two duvets on my bed at night. I slept with more warmth.

Much analysis took place over whether I was choosing new ... read more
Maiden Stone

I'm looking forward to it and I've been poring over my tomes and surfing the Megalithic Portal choosing places to visit and commune.I'm a bit of a Stone Circle freak, and one of the things I miss about living in the North East is being so close to so many big stanes. Grampian boasts the highest concentration of stones circles in the world doncha know :)This one is a favourite. It stands in the shadow of the Great Mother ... read more

Do you believe that if you choose to put the right kind of energy in the right kind of direction desired things will come to pass? I do. Do you believe in magic? I do. Are the two things one and the same? Hmmm. I think that you can put the right energy in the right direction and magic is the ingredient that brings you what you want and often with bonus extras. This month I have felt inspired to blog, and also to give my blog some added visibility by adding it to places like Technorati ... read more
Loudon Wood Stone Circle
We left the church and walked home in the bright sunshine. My Mum, Claire and I had animated discussions about Aberdeen City issues - I notice the changes more acutely because I'm now an occasional visitor and the increase in traffic and noise since I lived there is appalling. It's fun to see that my sister is as outspoken about politics as I am and even my Mum is becoming more opinionated. We shared stories of letters to MPs and discussed dear Donald (Trump) and concluded that he and his ... read more
