La Hougue de Vinde is a cist-in-circle, a type of monument peculiar to the Channel Islands.
We liked this place – and it seemed to like us. It’s been robbed – the cist has long since gone; damaged, overgrown and neglected; not easy to find in the trees. Branches overhang and encroach into the inner space. A saw is needed here. There’s a geocache. Yet, despite all the setbacks, we were pleased to be there in its stillness to share its existence.
We kissed in a circle.
