The grand Nine Maidens stone row. Every stone is a geological wonder, each a mini ecosystem of lichens and moss. #cornwall #standingstonesunday #prehistoric #ancientbritain

The Giant Bolster of St. Agnes Beacon #folklorethursday It was said he could step from The Beacon to Carn Brea in Redruth in one huge stride. The giant of Carn Brea angered the Bolster so much he cleared his own hill of stones throwing them at Carn Brea so it became covered in granite boulders.

Carn Kenidjack known as the Hooting Carn where the wind whistling between the craggy outcrop of stones makes an unearthly sound. Local folklore tells of the devil appearing in the guise of a hooded rider hunting lost souls across the Penwith Moors. #folkyfriday #cornwall #folklore #folkhorror

Nine Maidens stone circle, Wendron. Sadly not intact with only four standing and two built into the field wall. Originally there were two circles here. #cornwall #standingstonesunday #bronzeage

Wheal Maid - Goon Gumpus #cornwall #kernow A typical rugged vista in Cornwall's historic mining districts. The relics of Cornwall's mining past pepper a landscape formed from spoil heaps.

Piskey Hall, fogou. Not technically a standing stone, the Cornish fogou stands in a category all of its own. #Cornwall #StandingStoneSunday #prehistoric #megalithic #ancientsitesunday #sundaystonework @megalithic.bsky.social

Whatever you believe about crop circles, there's no doubt they bring people joy. (except the farmer 🫤) A sort of third space where you'll meet a diverse range of wonderful, interesting people.

I've seen my first May blossom of the year - a welcome symbol of hope and sign to start spring sowing in the veg patch (excuse the rubbish pic). "Mark the fair blooming of the Hawthorn Tree, Who, finely clothed in a robe of white, Fills the wanton eye with May’s delight." Chaucer.

DIY skincare: Yellow dead nettle, elderflower, plantain and nettle - infused into organic coconut oil, beeswax and cocoa butter. I swear by it for stings, bites and allergy rashes. I wouldn't be without it in horsefly season! #foraging #herbalism

Fairy knots - Legend has it if you find little knots in the mane it's because the Fae are riding your pony at night, braiding little stirrups into their mane and going on celestial adventures. She did seem a little tired this morning... #folklore #folktales

Making my own skin care from natural, organic, simple ingredients infused with organic home grown and foraged herbs. It's been a game changer for my skin staying away from prescribed petroleum based products and the preservatives in them.

Spriggan - the Cornish piskies malevolent and grotesque cousins who guard the barrows, cairns and stone circles of West Penwith. Known to conjure storms, steal cattle and terrify travellers. Most frighteningly of all steal mortal children and swap them for changelings. #folkyfriday #Cornwall
