Stone Circle

Fieldnotes

Dusk Falling, a warm summers evening in 2000.

The first circle at the start of a strange weekend in 2000. I decided to take myself off after work on the Saturday, not knowing where I was going. I phoned my parents to let them know where in the world I was. I told my mother I had set up camp at Newton Stewart just up the road from the Stone Circle. There was a silence atthe other end of the line.... I asked what was wrong and my mother said it was weird, they had spent their honeymoon at Newton Stewart...... 33 years ago to the very day.

I had no knowledge of that, I didn't even know it was their wedding anniversary.

I spent a couple of hours here reflecting, and left calmed - and ready for a chinese :o)
