We live as we dream - alone.

About Me

“He prayeth best who loveth best all creatures great and small.”I started off as an archaeologist, then I went on to be a singer. I worked on the world's only touring mediaeval jousting tournament for five years after that, then I had a brief career in front of the cameras.For the last few years, my attention has been concentrated almost solely on Stonehenge, as I lived not far from the ruins and I had regular access to the site for a decade; my ongoing and online journal www.eternalidol.com contains exclusive material about the ruins on Salisbury Plain.
