From Sue
Wayland: The Blessed Isles…
From Stuart.
*
The tone of the tale once Britain is reached,
becomes very different…
*
Alighting on Berkshire’s High Downs,
Wayland came upon an ancient chambered tomb,
and made it his home.
*
Tradition now has it,
that if ever you are riding the Ridgeway,
and your horse loses a shoe,
you need only tether it nearby,
leave a silver-sixpence on the uppermost stone of the tomb,
and on your return your horse will be shod and your money gone…
*
Wayland, it seems, never works while being observed.
