The Walkways - the Path - the actual Labyrinth is finished in record time! Five hours of work today, between showers. Only the edging needs attention so that the mowing of the lawn around is easy and I need to allow for the eventual growing of low shrubs or hedging and large grasses on the outside.
The most tiring part of the building of the Labyrinth was the extended entrance/exit part, that for some unknown reason I have on the Labyrinth.


Sunday 30th July - after a week of only being able to do half an hour here and an hour there, the Labyrinth is well onto its way to completion.

As a spiritual experience and all the handling of so many stones and barrowloads of gravel, I feel better in myself.
Body, mind and spirit have to work and be healed together.

Two great heaps in front of the house - would I ever shift it all?

In April 2003 I built a rudimentary Celtic Labyrinth on the front lawn

The lawn was two inches thick with moss and as a lawn was a disaster area.
I never really liked the idea that I was making a meditative walk on moss killer. However the nearby rooks thought it wonderful when last winter the moss grew back even thicker and in the spring collected huge wadges of moss to line their nests. The Labyrinth bagan to look a bit ragged to say the least.
This picture, with a dusting of snow, makes it seem very attractive.
