2010; The Year O Many Stanes!
Actually, it starts in October 2009 when, on a glorious Thursday I decided I wanted to go to Kilpeck Church and visit the Sheela Na Gig; a carving from around 1130 of a haggard woman holding open her vagina (odd for a church, but there you go). While in that area, I figured we could see what else was nearby and that is how I happened upon the Google Earth-TMA application! Well, theres no turning back now is there :)
We opted for Arthurs Stone and Four Stones, both beautiful and easy to get to from Kilpeck while its still light. Beautiful. Arthurs Stone is much bigger than I expected and has a beautiful spot even if you can practically park your car on it! The sun came out long enough for me to feel its warmth before leaping back in the car a driving like a mad woman through the country lanes to get to Four Stones (easily found once I stopped mistaking cows for stones...)
Ah, I have the taste for it now; just lacking finances...

Hey Ho, here we go...
Geology graduate who grew up in the (barren) West Midlands, did some travelling and then ended up back in sunny Wolverhampton (mostly by default). Got some fab friends who like rocks as much as I do, so we spend lots of our freetime in country roads arguing over dodgy directions to another stone monument.
I'm as interested in the theories behind this stuff as anything else and think that most people are thinking too small. The positioning and alignment of most (if not all) burrows, megaliths, monoliths, bumps, dips and circles show an understanding of energy that we no longer possess. But thats all a bit too deep to get into on here. These trips are pilgrimages for me, in the same way as people visit churches or Mecca (silly modern religions)
I'm a holistic therapist living with the love of my life, Martin, and a lizard named Stan. I LOVE food as long as it never had a face, I'm rather partial to red wine and I'm happy to be alive and able to walk freely through moor, hill and vale finding sacred sites to "power up" and get me through.
Thats about it really...
