There is always a to-do about offerings, but this piece of news is surreal; knitted flowers strung around the stones of the Merry Maidens - Graffiti Grannies did it, its sort of landscape art or something but they got their knitting needles slapped by the virtuous guardian of the site.

If you follow the links to facebook you can even find some pics! To be honest the best celebration solstice artwork I've seen so far is the Tara stuff, a rather good mandala, I'm sure the Irish 'celticism' has a lot more imagination in it than tired old pieces of pizza or wine bottles.....

Quite funny I suppose, and I guess no real harm done*, but the knitted stuff does look a bit out of place on the stones to me.


*although I do wonder how they stuck the woolly bits to the stones.

HA! I love it! Its better than half the rubbish Ive seen at these places and its pretty easy to remove. No harm done, all good :)

Site monitor and guardian Martin Cleaver sounds a real cheery soul! He should be sent up to Cumbria and have a tidy up around Long Meg and Co.
