The Oxenham Arms pub in South Zeal, Devon, boasts the unusual distinction of having been constructed around two prehistoric standing stones.
If you’re lucky and visit at the right time of day, as I did, you might also see the smaller of the two being recharged with sacred energy by the sun.

Wanna bet that this is going to be a Dutch social media stronghold for the Dutch extreme right. No thank you. Be gone. 🌬️
Dertien jaar na het einde van Hyves is het weer mogelijk om te krabbelen. Eigenaar Mediahuis brengt de Nederlandse socialenetwerksite terug, naar eigen zeggen omdat er behoefte is aan een Europees sociaal medium zonder een verslavend algoritme.
Hyves blijkt niet uitgekrabbeld en keert na dertien jaar terug

“The year, with fickle pulse,
Weary of bloom, begins to live for fruit.
Hope now is born at turning of the tide,
And spreads her hue along the gauzy lines
Of spider webs between the blades of grass.”

In the tunnels under Coreham there exists an almost unrelenting graffiti. Carved into chalk walls are crowned saints, unsheathed swords. Depictions of the crucifixion alongside sheela na gigs. An enfolding of sex, death and salvation that the town council has failed to turn into an attraction.

Toen ik in de jaren 80 tiener en jongvolwassene was maakten we ons om veel druk.
Maar toen kon ik niet bedenken dat er 40 jaar later Nederlandse fascisten door de straten zouden marcheren.
Door de gure rechtse wind voelt het bijna alsof dit erbij hoort. Maar dat is niet zo. Het is doodeng.
