The Rollright Stones Stone Circle View all content for The Rollright Stones (206 posts)

I was here with my partner Tony who was very ill at the time and although it was only two weeks before his demise (more from the chemical cocktails than the dreaded immune system shut down) we had probably the most tender yet lovely night of our lives together! it will in my mind always be where the stones sing for my lovely Tony.

Bernie, I find it great that these sites can contribute to/act as conduits for - inspire, even - such wonderful, raw human emotion. That such lumps of rock (if you're lucky to have even that) can cast a light on the very essence of what makes us human is the primary reason I (and I guess most TMA persons?) travel to these marvellously God-forsaken places. From my own perspective, the stones have given me much needed time for thought away from the endless stream of predominately superficial 'information' blasted at the individual 24/7 nowadays. I recall a line from one of Mr Cope's 90's tunes which states 'It's time that we sat down', which I think is spot on. Do I care what Ashley Cole and his ilk are up to? Hmm....Think we should be paying more attention to those dear to us, meself. Although in no way comparable to your loss, my sister cites visits to a number of South Walian sites and mountain tops - not to mention Donegal's Beltany - as giving her the clarity of thought needed to take some tough decisions during an acrimonious divorce. To quote the cliche, 'the stones spoke' to her and although I do not happen to believe in any 'supernatural' effects, the outcome upon the human brain is no less powerful for that.
