The King Stone

Day off!!! I love just days you take off on a whim. Feels like stolen time. I had a run, stocked up the much depleted cupboards, baked some cakes and then went out for the afternoon with Robert. We had lunch in Chipping Norton and then went to Chastleton House. It was really left run down when the NT took it on and it still has the shabby feel of neglect about it which I actually found really interesting. As we left the sun broke through and as we were passing by anyway we popped in to see the Rollright stones.

There was definitely a sense of this All Hallows/All Souls time of year there. This looks like an ancient spiritual battle to me.
