Well, not always water - thanks Rhiannon :-)


A farmer of the neighbourhood, then with me, assured me gravely that he had known many persons who had crept through this hole for pains in their back and limbs, but with what success he could not then recollect.

yeah bloody disgraceful, leaving pins (which are sharp and pointy as well) lying around as offerings at sites. And mr Borlase didn't even take them home to put in the bin. keep britain tidy, that's what I say.

Seriously, nothing annoys me more when arriving at a site than seeing a load of TAT. Especially as it's generally rained-on, non-biodegradeable, tasteless, 'look at me being all respectful', unaesthetic tat. Oooh do you know it's the main reason why I;ve never been to Swallowhead springs. I just don't think I could STAND IT. And don;'t even get me started on f-ing tea lights.

I'm going to look at some other threads now.
