@TheAthleticFC Fun observation: The analogy likening the progression from Bournemouth to Liverpool as Sunday School to the Vatican is, strictly speaking, incorrect as Sunday School is primarily a Protestant tradition.

A roman water well found in one of the fields at Althorp. It was excavated and meticulously recorded by a professional team of archaeologists. At around 6 metres deep I find it incredible how the men dug it out by hand and then constructed the walls. [email protected]

There are places we admire, and places we return to without fully understanding why. On the coast at Manorbier, between storm and sea, stands one such place for me. #Pembrokeshire

@megkeanewrites The fact that he wrote all that he did without any prior plot planning is mind boggling.

How Tolkien described what Samwise Gamgee saw as he gazed out upon the plains of Mordor from the threshold of the Sammath Naur moments after the Ring of Power was destroyed is some of the best writing I’ve ever read: “A brief vision he had of swirling cloud, and in the midst of it towers and battlements, tall as hills, founded upon a mighty mountain-throne above immeasurable pits; great courts and dungeons, eyeless prisons sheer as cliffs, and gaping gates of steel and adamant: and then all passed. Towers fell and mountains slid; walls crumbled and melted, crashing down; vast spires of smoke and spouting steams went billowing up, up, until they toppled like an overwhelming wave, and its wild crest curled and came foaming down upon the land. And then at last over the miles between there came a rumble, rising to a deafening crash and roar; the earth shook, the plain heaved and cracked, and Orodruin reeled. Fire belched from its riven summit. The skies burst into thunder seared with lightning. Down like lashing whips fell a torrent of black rain. And into the heart of the storm, with a cry that pierced all other sounds, tearing the clouds asunder, the Nazgûl came, shooting like flaming bolts, as caught in the fiery ruin of hill and sky they crackled, withered, and went out.” From Lord of the Rings, Return of the King.

I’ve written a little something about the mesmerising Bryn Celli Ddu (Mound in the Dark Grove) burial chamber on Ynys Môn. Please give it a read if you have the time. Substack link is in my bio.
