There are folk who tie cruel strips of plastic to trees, inflicting painful binding and turning them into unnecessary scarecrows. This is all done in hope of a desire coming true. We witches call these folk idiots. The land and its spirits listen to none who wound it. - #EmilyCBanting, 1981

Wishing you all a very happy Christmas, with love from a misty Penwith today. #ChristmasEve #Kernow #Cornwall #Yule
The old fountain at St Antony’s Gardens, Penzance. St Michael’s Mount is in the far distance across the sea. Carn Galver Engine House, ruin. It is misty & the shrubs & trees have lost their leaves. The sky is a pale, silvery blue. Farm in the mist, a view from the front seat of a car. Telegraph wires stretch overheard. Porthmeor Menhir, as seen from the road. The stone is grey & stands alone in a field of green grass, there are no cattle today. The Cornish hedge is covered in brown bracken & brambles. It is misty on the road.

Close up image of a happy beagle looking towards the camera phone. Big black nose, white snout & brown around his eyes with a white blaze in between. He is laying on down on the bed.

Wishing you all well on this Winter Solstice🌞✨

Image is from Solstice last year at Tregeseal, taken around midday.
A ring of stones at Tregeseal. The grass is green & the bright sun is casting long shadows from the stones & people in the image. A large rocky outcrop is to the top of the image, it’s Carn Kenidjack

‘Twas damp above Zennor today. But it looked beautiful!🧡💚
#ZennorQuoit #SperrisQuoit #SperrisSettlement #CASPN #Kernow #Cornwall
Zennor Quoit today, grey granite slabs of stone. The bracken has turned brown & the grass is bright green there is a muddy path leading the way towards it. The sky is silvery grey, it looks like it might rain. Black wellies ankle deep in muddy water on the path above Zennor. Side view of Sperris Quoit, three large stones laying flat with a large upright granite slab. The quoit is flooded with rainwater. The grass is green, in the distance the bracken has turned brown. The circular remains of a building at Sperris Settlement. The centre is flooded & surrounded by golden & brown vegetation. My Jack Russell Boo is about to jump into the water. In the far distance is Trendrine Hill.

Today's New Blog Post!

Maybe a bit of a controversial one . . .
I had always been very sceptical about the stories of a big cat on Bodmin Moor but revisiting the very first reports from the early 90s actually changed my mind . . .
What do you think?

What is the truth behind the headlines? Did the Beast of Bodmin Moor really exist? Were wild cats roaming our moors?
