Following on from my visit to St Cleer Holy Well, I set off to find Roche Rock & Hermitage, fondly referred to as the Chapel on the Rock. It was a recent Rick Stein programme, where he visited the Rock Inn, that prompted me to write this blog. My friend and I had made a […]
The St Cleer Holy Well is easy to find and is sign posted on the main road going through the village of St Cleer. The well was in ruins until 1864, when it was rebuilt, in Gothic splendour, as a memorial for the local vicar. It now stands amidst modern houses and bungalows. Stories tell […]
I discovered a great walk from Mary Tavey to Tavistock which took me just over an hour and is fairly well signposted. In the Sun and The Serpent, Hamish Miller talks about the Mary line passing through the church at Mary Tavey and I took the opportunity of accepting a lift to the church and […]

If you are interested in this sort of thing, then do click on the link that Alexander has sent me to learn more about his work with sounds and animals. Blessings Check out the story of Talula […]
A foggy August morning greeted me on my latest pilgrimage to find the Hurlers stone circles. On the way I stopped at King Doniert’s Stone. According to English Heritage “These two fragments, one of which is known as King Doniert’s Stone, are the only surviving examples of 9th-century stone crosses in Cornwall. The inscription on […]
I have been house sitting in Lostwithiel, so I thought I would make the most of these few days to explore the megalithic sites in the area and Brent Tor has been on my bucket list for some time. Unlike many other sites, this one is easy to find. However, you can easily miss the […]
I stumbled on Alsia Well (pronounced Ay lee ah) when reading an article in the marymichaelpilgrimsway. I had not heard of this sacred well before and not surprising, as there are no sign posts whatsoever. As it was the day of the New Moon, I thought I would hop on my local bus and just […]
Mother nature was good to us all here in West Penwith. No rain, some clouds, some blue sky and sunshine with a breeze. The north coast might have been a bit more windy but I was fairly sheltered on my walk from Lands End to Carn Les Boels. This was my first attempt from a […]
After much searching, my friend Elfi and I eventually found the Hampton Stone Circle, followed by Lady’s Sacred Holy Well. An amazing and very spiritual day and a special journey for us both. I was blessed to be given some moss from one of the stones at the circle and when I came back to […]
In the past, I have experienced the Children’s Dance and the Midday Dance on Flora Day in Helston, Cornwall. However, this was my first experience of Hal an Tow. The official advertising says it is the reenactment of Robin Hood and Little John, St George slaying the Dragon, St Michael slaying the Devil and the […]
Fabulous energy and fabulous coffee morning with Shirley, Corrine, Karen and Sally. Hope you enjoy the photos. Thank you Shirley for inviting me. You are truly an incredible woman. Love and hugs
Finding Prussia Cove in Cornwall has been on my bucket list for some time, not only because it is a beautiful place, not far from my cottage, but also because it is on the Apollo Energy Line. The story goes that the cove got its name from John Carter, who was an infamous 18th century […]
Hi everyone. At long last I have experienced a pottery lesson. It has been on my bucket list for years and my niece organised a special lesson for just the two of us. Pippa runs her Lowenek Art Studio in St Martin on the Lizard in Cornwall, complete with peacocks, ducks and chickens. We really […]
What fun and laughter my niece Karrie and I had at Sam’s Roskorwell Farm, better known as the Lavender Farm. The Willow Weaving Workshop was run by Vanessa of Penacre Willow. Vanessa is based in Coverack, Cornwall and runs fabulous workshops. Here are her 2024 Workshops and details The Workshop was amazing. Karrie and I […]
What a perfect morning. Everything went to clockwork (and I missed the rain). I got my bus from Relubbus on time. Got the number 8 bus from Penzance to Sancreed on time and met a lovely lady on the bus who directed me to the well and who I chatted to on the way back […]
