			Okay, so quite, quite literally going for a walk
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:06
			to have a cup of tea.
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			That's what I'm up to.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:16
			That's hopefully going to be quite a nice little hike. I've got my
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			hiking sticks.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:50
			I'm going up through part Priory Woods, which is just on the edge of the town. We're live church
Stretton, and then uptown Brook Valley. It's a beautiful view over here. Such a lovely walk. And now
I'm going to make my way up to the very top of the long mynd. So I'm on top of the long men now and
looking over to corned and hill which borders whales very prominent feature there. And right next to
it is Mitchell's fold and mysterious stone circle.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			To set my press
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			now, time to
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			make a cup of tea.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:25
			My thoughts are drifting to all the people who lived around here 1000s of years ago, overlooking
everything is covered dock, which is the famous last stand of the English king Caractacus who fought
against the Roman occupation ultimately failed in his resistance
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:37
			my tea has over boiled as you can see, I didn't bring anything with me to clean it up
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:42
			under law, innovate or die, as they say. And yeah, as
		
00:01:43 --> 00:02:14
			always gets me thinking about how short our life is how temporary our existence is existences on
this earth. And how many people have come and gone before us and all the difficulties and the trials
and the tribulations and the hardships they went through. And sometimes perhaps we think our life is
so different and of course in many ways it is but in many ways is not on my way descent down from
the long mynd. I look across to care caridade the Iron Age Hill forth and there
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:30
			I see on the Hill, a face of a bearded man. Can you see that too? I'm thinking is that the face of
Caractacus famous king who held out against the Romans for his finally defeated
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:38
			was it just an optical illusion? Because our brains are wired to see faces
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			that's food for thought.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:45
			There he is, again
