Where was shaun?

Its my birthday this weekend so we went camping at Little Ropers which is only a few miles from home. We had a great time, it was a clear night so we could see lots of stars and the Milky Way. We had a fire, beer, burgers and sausages- it doesnt get much better than that!

I love Autumn!

We did a walk to see The hillside outline of the legendary Bures which was created as part of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

The dragon’s presence in Bures in the the Chronicle of St Albans Abbey written in 1405 by Henry de Blaneford ‘In these days there appeared lately an evil dragon of excessive length with a huge body, crested head, saw like teeth, elongated tail in the land around the village of Bures near Sudbury, which destroyed and killed a herd of sheep. The servants of Sir Richard Waldegrave who owns the land haunted by the dragon came forth to shoot it with bows, but its body resisted the arrows which sprang forth from its ribs as if they were metal or hard stone, from the spines of its back with a jangling as if they were hitting bronze plates, and flew far away because its skin was impenetrable. Almost the whole county was summoned to slaughter it, but when it saw that it was to be shot at again, it fled into the marsh, hid in the reeds & was seen no more’.

The walk to see the dragon is really nice. Ive added the PDF of the walk for you to download.
