solstice
It was summer solstice 1987 (hooray a summer splstice story too!) and I had gone up to Ilkley Moor to watch the sun rise with some mates. I was wearing a nice dress with a big straw hat. I was really pissed off when some media types came along with cameras and big furry mikes...making loads of noise and totally spoiling the atmosphere. My rage started to well up...the sun was just about to peep over the horizon... I marched towards them, shouting and swearing and telling them to piss off back to their studio. Then I turned my back on them and walked away into the sunrise, muttering under my breath "stupid bloody bastards.... etc".

Later that day on the local news... I see a clip of a woman walking away from the camera wearing dress and straw hat...It was that last news item... and now for some fluffy news..."revellers celebrated the solstice on Ilkely Moor..." It all looked so tranquille and sweet.

This is when I found out that the media is ALL TOTAL lies.

Carved Stones perchance ?
Were you by the famous one?
With the unfortunate name nowadays.
Have been up there for the Autumn Equinox, very nice.

For media interuption, you want to try being at Stonehenge at Summer Solstice, well thats if you can get near.
