Just a quick post before I leave for Grange over Sands. I wanted to post a picture of the Solstice Lantern Procession from Stonehenge into Amesbury, which was revived this year.
More when I get back!

You wouldnt have … this is the first time it’s been held in living memory, although, apparently, they did use to do it in the way-back-when. It’s hoped, though, it’s going to become an annual evert.
The man in the photo with the lantern, incidentally, is Andy Rawlings, creator of ‘The Ancestor’ and ‘Tarja’
