Yes indeed!

Yes indeed.

Thank you moss for bring that to our attention. But for all it's tacky trappings the area is still magical. While moss was walking around Silbury yesterday I was walking down Regent Street - several doorways with bundles of rags cocooning fellow human beings; in one bundle the face of a young girl fast asleep. While city people passed by, mobiles stuck to ears, expensive shopping bags dangling from wealthy hands.

Strolling along the Winterbourne at any time of year is almost paradise by comparison.

Our local church has just had a notice put up, it says "this is concecrated area, dogs must be kept on a lead , at all times"
To me this was nonsense, if it had requested that dog owners should prevent their dogs from doing a plop in the churchyard, yes, of coarse.
We went around the wells of Cornwall several months ago, and some of them were dressed with the most magical array of small strips of material.
If we came across amy rubbish, we cleared it up.
It is my opinion, that a lot of the sites will origonally been highly decorated, with the strongest colours imaginable, and what we witness now, are the bare , fossil remnants.
If someone felt a spiritual need to decorate a place ( with a degradable substance ) who can tell them not to, and why would they tell them not to.?

Just been here today...

Normally I take a carrier bag to collect any tat I see lying around at sites - would have needed a BIN bag for this lot!!! It was a RIGHT old state - worse than I've ever seen it... I managed to untie some small ROCKS that had been tied to branches - can you believe someone might think this is a GOOD thing to do? The poor branches had the string cutting into them under the weight... There's the usual supply of clouties, the flags are still there, and a strange selection of charity shop statuettes and drinking vessels and other junk... and christmas decorations galore! And a pair of pants.

Also cleared 6 or 7 tealights from West Kennett - 4 of which were LIT!!! The friends that we took there have never been there and said EH could easily put some signs up because they doubt people KNOW they're causing damage etcetc... We've been saying this for AGES here! It's a simple task! If someone who has never been there can see it so plainly, then EH have CLEARLY got it wrong.
