Chuckle... nearly did go all earth goddessy but thought better of it. Mind, we do have the lovely Alton Goddess so I know it's not all me head :-)

do tell - am I being daft?

I was thinking of the chain of hills in the Vale of Pewsey which begin with Tan Hill, then Milk Hill (with a barrow 'nipple' on top), Walker's Hill (with the Adam's Grave 'nipple' on top) and ending with Knap Hill, suggesting to some a recumbent female figure.

Are the Callanish Goddess and the <i>Dna Chioch Anann</i> hills (the Paps of Annu) in Ireland all part of the same tradition of 'tinkering' with the landscape to tease out the goddess within. I wonder if something interesting (in the astronomical sense) might happen this weekend in the Vale of Pewsey during the standstill.

Conversely, I could be losing the plot completely (made even more likely after an afternoon at the Fox and Raven :-)
