“How old is it?”
“How old is what?”
“The Turnip Lantern Tradition?”
*
*
“It is truly ancient.”
“That is good.”
“There appear to be others who agree with you.”
*
*
“A heartening sight.”
*
*
“A truly heartening sight, although it may need more.”
“How much more do you mean?”
“To affect change people will have to become pro-active.”

And with that…
The Grey Hobbit…
Ran off, through the trees…
*
*
…and disappeared back…
down it’s Hobbit-Hole.
*
*
Platforms of such a height…
*
*
Should be fashioned for flight…
*
*
Of one sort or another…
*
*
Follow the ‘Grey Hobbit’…
*
*
Through…
*
*
Strange…
*
*
Landscapes of Stone.
*
*
Faces Beyond Form…

*
It is beyond question that what would,
today, be regarded as three separate sites are in fact one.
*
*
Though distinct, with individual identities,
each facet works together with the other as one whole.
*
*
Given that the Stride, from Hart Hill, sights, frames
and tracks the midsummer moon we might be forgiven for thinking that…
*
*
… Robin’s Hood is…
*
*
…the Earth’s shadow.

*
*
‘Hidden Purpose’…
*
*
‘Camouflage Cliff-Face’…
*
*

*
*
‘Unsaddled by Time’…
*
*
‘Of circular possibilities’…
*
*
‘Eyeing the Chasm’…
*
*
‘Extending a welcome’…
*
*
‘An Other Time’…
*
*
‘Presence is everything’…
*
*
‘Two O’Clock Shadow’…
*
*
‘There was an Old Woman’…
*
*
‘Who looked out’…
*
*
‘Through a Shoe’…
*
“It’s just a landscape, Don.”
“Well, it is undoubtedly a landscape…”
*
*
“…And a sky-scape too…”
“…Although, I’m not too sure
what justice has to do with it…”
*
*
“It may be a product of custom, over design…”
“And mere holes in the sky…”
*
*
“But this place…
Feels…”
*
*
“Magical, to me.”
