What time of day do you prefer to write? I'm much more creative in the evening but better at editing in the morning 📖✏️📚 #writersky

Very old Celtic crosses in a churchyard near Truro

The magnificent Buttern Hill cist, part of a Bronze Age cemetery across the hillside, with magnificent views to Bronn Wennili (Cornwall’s highest point). #Cornwall #BodminMoor #StandingStoneSunday

Three narrow granite slabs, lying lengthways, form a rectangle, while a large standing stone rests halfway across it like a coffin lid poised on the lip of the tomb. Small chunks of granite surround the cist forming a much denuded mound. Across in the distance on a dry, brown and treeless horizon is a looming grey ridge, Bronn Wennili (I won’t say it’s English name) - the Hill of swallows it translates too, although perhaps its other Cornish name Bronn Ewhella (highest hill) seems more accurate as I never glimpse swallows there. The sky is filled with Constable like clouds and sun falls on land between the ridge but not on the cist or hill.

#StandingStoneSunday The causeway across the Ness of Brodgar in Orkney, guarded by the 'Watchstone'

This probably-Neolithic stone may have once been part of a pair, guarding the processional route from the Stones of Stenness

Making the most of these sunny days for autumn #foraging. Conkers, rosehips, apples, self-heal, red clover, yarrow and honeysuckle. For syrups, treats, oils, soaps -washing liquid, balms and salves.
