Rainy Solstice at Avebury!!

Well I'm still glad i went but the weather was terrible,After meeting up with the wicked ladies of the western English traveller community and getting a lift from bath, when i first arrived i could tell where my Kenty friends were by the noise of Dave's sticks and the fact that their drumming actually had a rhythm. After BBC scaremongering about a 10 mile towing away zone we could actually park near. My girly Friends left early and i ended up being kidnapped back to Kent back to the lovely woods again. It was cool though very relaxing. Went to a place called Coldrum stones on Monday a very nice chilled out place which was dug up in Victorian times by archaeologists and used to be a long barrow but now has just exposed stones, Rob Wilson from the druid network wrote this:

"At the foot of the steep slope of the chalky North Downs, lies a place that holds the stories of the Neolithic Ancestors of the Medway valley. Kent is not known for its prehistoric megaliths, yet here deep in this valley where the weald expands beyond to the horizon; sits one of the best preserved long barrows in the south east. It’s a place of immense peace and tranquillity; even the sceptical and insensitive of people never fail to be touched by its presence of serenity. William Borlas in 1754 wrote in his, Antiquities of Cornwall, that Coldrum’s name was believed to have been derived from the Cornish word 'Galdrum', meaning a 'Place of enchantment', whether this is true or pure romanticism, it is a place of enchantment! The Greenwood Grove has developed a sound relationship with the current owners, the National Trust; to the extent where we have become extra eyes and ears for the protection of the site and liaising with the Trust on its use by local pagans. Indeed many other local pagan groups and individuals do the same.

On these pages you can find out about the archaeology and spirit present of this rare gem in Kent’s spiritual crown."

it really is a lovely place the wind was shaking the barley in the next field and it looked like the sea.
