Fyfield Down
22/09/2009 by James.
I went to Fyfield Down again recently. Set up above Avebury, I used to walk there sometimes when we were living Marlborough.
It is a much more wild and windswept feeling place than most of Wiltshire, and the Sarsen boulders lying along the hillsides really give it the feel of an upland moor in Wales or Cornwall, rather than a patch of the Wiltshire countryside.
The visit linked in well with the work that I’m doing around Stonehenge, with its huge Sarsens from this area and the smaller Bluestones from west Wales.

This time we walked along the Ridgeway to get there, on a misty and drizzly morning. Very atmospheric and pretty soggy… here’s a few photos from my phone.
For info on how to get there, see…

The Woods after Work
22/09/2009 by James.
We’ve been trying to get out with Moshi (my dog) every evening to get the most of the evenings as the sun falls lower and the shady parts grow cooler. I know if I don’t that in a couple of months I’ll be wondering why I wasted these moments of the last low sunshine, of leafy space and peace.
We went to some woods near a neighbouring village last night, with dark corners, unseen animals rustling through the bracken, and a family of buzzards calling and moving above the trees.
