Clearbury Sundown

The last flashes of sunlight beam down from between racing clouds, threatening clouds driven at speed by a strong wind, cool but not cold as the close warmth of the day hangs on. The hillside at Clearbury Rings is covered in the seed pods of thousands of Cowslips, it must have been quite a sight, and one to remember for next year. Although don't think the hillside's now bare, no, the Cowslips have been replaced by Orchids, beautiful. As you pass the ancient hillfort, ramparts now shrouded in thick trees and shrubs, although you see no one, there is movement all about and you sense mischievousness in it's shady confines. The Fairies are abroad this evening.
