10th November 2023

 So what to write today? World news is horrifying. I have just listened to a podcast about Suella Braverman's article in The Times.  We all know she is pushing and shoving for leadership in the coming election, or maybe even before.  But it is a brave person who takes on the body of the police institution, what has Britain fallen to???  

Will there be trouble at  Remembrance  Day on Sunday, who knows but the ceremony will go ahead.  Will the protest march affect it, it doesn't seem likely as it will be taking a different route to the one held at The Cenotaph (an empty tomb of someone who has died elsewhere). 

There is a small vigil group in Tod that stand outside the Town Hall on Sunday at 3.0.clock but not this Sunday.  There are many Muslims up in the Northern towns, Bradford probably being the most well known.  But they are integrated into the communities. We have an Indian prime minister (although probably not for long) and a Home Secretary (racist sadly) with a similar background.  One day I will not have to write as I have just written we will be a homogenous family of cultures and colours that are not important.  But for now we struggle through perceived truths about race.

Something gentler maybe? I have been in the land of stones.  Well not actually, more in my head of course.  Thinking about the Preseli Hills, and all the tombs dotted around this area.  Watching by the way two delightful Welsh men argue the toss about the history of Wales. The Dragon has Two Tongues  And wishing just for a moment that Moss and I could go to Carn Llidi at St. David and once more visit this implacable headland and its tombs such as The Coetan Arthur cromlech below.

Or maybe the two hidden cromlechs against the flanks of Carn Llidi, I think they are Neolithic

These are hidden cromlechs but just look in front of the cromlechs, a concrete stand for a gun during the second World War.
