This land is my reminiscences. For two thousand years this valley has been mine on your own.

I know each and every rock, every last stream and every single tree. I know the forces that form this land and the people who inhabit it.

A billion decades in the past this land was a migratory path for the animals of Western Europe. They roamed freely across the massive land of a single continent. Millennia handed as the rivers cleaned silt to the ocean and the sun elevated rain to the sky. At that time the mass of Eurasia was joined. The tectonic plates shifted and islands shaped, raising proud, green peninsulas on green water, thrust out to the ocean. Lengthy in advance of my time the forces of nature battled along the coasts of Western Europe. From the Southwest, the Gulf Stream warmed and opened the land with summer season warmth. From the north, ice raged and cracked the rock of what would turn into the British Isles.

The land tells me it was an epic struggle. The generous warmth of earth, venting her spleen, the wash of the water, cooling and circulating air. Rain succoured the land and ran back again to the sea, infinite cycles, repeating endlessly. The earth shifted, chasms opened and the sea swept in, submerging spots and separating the islands of Britain and Ireland from the mainland.

Spouts of boiling lava spewed from the molten centre of earth to create granite formations, a resource of wonder till the conclusion of time. A fantastic rift opened up what is now the Bristol Channel and the Irish Sea, separating the land into distinct areas. Numerous qualities however connect Brittany, Ireland, Wales, and Cornwall. Their joining can nonetheless be viewed in area and individuals. But veins of energy operate via the sea, a matrix of power criss-crosses the land and reaches out all around our planet.

The Phoenicians, Egyptians and Greeks journeyed to these coasts even prior to the Iron Age, in lookup of Keltic wisdom, since long before the time of my youth. They followed the trail of gold and wisdom across the sea to Cornwall and then to Wales and Ireland. Later on, tin trade followed these routes across Brittany and the journeys of sensible guys and saints to the west of land, the land of setting sun, of Gods and the quest for immortality that haunts us all. Ships and boats from the French and Spanish coasts usually sailed to rivers on the south coast of Cornwall in lookup of trade and journey with the helpful and civilised Keltii, hopefully avoiding the pirates that have ravaged these coasts for millennia.
