The most ancient recorded name for the lands of Britain - England, Scotland and Wales. This is the Britain where I lived as a child and it’s the Britain to which I still venture whenever I hear it call. It’s also the Britain that I seek to capture in images, in the hope that others might see them and be inspired to listen more carefully in the gloaming hour for the whispering of our fey past. Walk out when you hear that voice and look for the paths trod by our ancestors, for they lead to ancient places - places where the stones have stories for those with an ear to listen.

Fantastic spring weather and a new camera have led to lots of days out and lots of new photographs. One recently visited site was The Grey Mare and Her Colts - a fantastic example of a chambered long barrow, sadly ruinous but still visually stunning.

I still have a lot of older material to add to The Isle of Albion, and I'll be working through this slowly. Finding the time to do write-ups for some of the history-rich medieval sites is proving difficult. The days just aren't long enough!
