well now...my copy of
arrived on friday...i sat down at 10.05 after making the all important cup of tea and only stopped reading at 11.20pm with 150 pages to go...swampy reminded me that i needed to be awake for kits book signing in dorchester!
we left early and caught the forest at its best...cobwebs covered the gorse like little sparkling fairy platforms and a low mist created white islands in the hollows...
our route took us past the long, long walls of the drax estate-which was the inspiration for stonewylde...
famous for it great gates...this one is the five legged stag...
this was the first time i had gone to dorchester since we moved away and i felt sad returning because we loved living in our small cottage in the middle of no-where, especially as we lived at the foot of bulbarrow hill which had a bronze age hill fort and medieval trackway at the very top.
i made sure i had my copy in my bag...
the lovely kit berry...
MrB...

guarding the ceremony cakes with mrb...
then it was time to say goodbye (until next week!) and go and have a cup of tea. we made our way to maiden castle where we had spent many happy hours while living nearby...
lanceborough king barrow...bronze age barrow cemetery...
we were glad to see the celtic kitchen was still open and selling their gorgeous pasties and cakes...we had a pasty each for our lunch and brought one of their toffee apple cakes home with us...
i am so glad pretty pagan allows us to be so self-sufficient but wish we had this view every day...
then it was time to come home and finish reading shaman-oh my what a roller-coaster of a ride it is...
~*~*~*~
today it is back to normal and i will be spending the day crafting ready for samhain...
