Angmering - The Roman Villa

Since watching Time Team, my eyes are searching the ground when walking over the fields in Sussex. So it didn´t take a long until I found a bit of clay,  a very orange coloured one, with inclusions and patches of different coloured material. I could even see that it had been worked by man and not by machine. Somebody had soften the edge of a corner with a finger or the thumb.

Wheel Of Life, Pt4 Stonehenge



I am getting quite addicted to the diggings of the Time Team :)
This documentary about Stonehenge is about the historical landscape where Stonehenge is built. It shows the connection between the Durrington Walls/ Woodhenge (which in my eyes appears to be the symbol for life) and Stonehenge (which after the archaeological resurches seems to be more a symbol for death). The connection between these spiritual places is the nearby River Avon.
At least I must add that I truly believe in the importance of the winter solstice for those who has been celebrating there. Dark long nights opens the human mind for insights and spirituality, and it is the time for rebirth of life, the wheel of life keeps on turning.

Here you can use an interactiv panoramic view of Stonehenge.

P.S. Only few minutes after making this post I heard the latest news about the landscape surrounding Stonehenge.  Read about the finds here.

Per-Anders Fogelström - Mina Drömmars Stad

Per-Anders Fogelströms Mina Drömmars Stad was one of my favourite books as child. I learned a lot about my hometown Stockholm and the life of labourers it the end of the 18th century.
I am happy to have found a link where I can listen to the story once again, 50 years later ...
Here it is.

Tintagel

After having survived that storm I wanted to take a watch onto the castle in Tintagel which is connected to the myths of King Arthur. I stayed there longer then I had thought of as I got "the runs" - as the englishman would say. Hello there John, now I know how it is :)
