So this was it. The final stop on my weekend with the Silent Eye, not far from where it had begun for me, two days earlier. We were very close to Aberdeen airport, but, other than the occasional plane or helicopter overhead, you wouldn’t have known it. We were standing on high ground overlooking aContinue reading “Maiden Mother Crone, Part 8 – Farewell”

For I am writing a LOT at the moment. Funny, the busier we getContinue reading “A Small Update”
