King for a Day
Aug 20, 2003, 14:23
I went from the hills (first headfuck experience on Bleadon Hill in Somerset about 9-10) to the woods, back to the hills, and saw Avebury in the 80's, which blew my top off.

Now I miss the hills again. Britain's landscape is so special it's almost unbelievable, that's why I get to crying rage when it's destroyed by consumer culture.

Earliest memory of *being* 'outdoors' is standing on a dead stump nr the monument on Wychbury Hill, Worcesterhire, with grandparents, shouting lungfully 'I'm the king of the castle and your the dirty rascal'

I got into Antiquarian stuff through Janet and Colin Bord, and a fasciantion for crumbling ruins.
