This is episode 30, season 2, for Thursday the thirtieth of October 2025. I'm Elizabeth Guilt.</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><br></p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Your one-hundred word story for the day is:</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Peace and Love. Mostly.</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><br></p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">by Elizabeth Guilt</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><br><br></p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">---</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><br></p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Ancient? Haha, no, not at all! Built in the 60s. Yes, it is pretty convincing. Oh, just a vanity project - a local man&nbsp; got really into ley lines and decided to find one on his own land. Oriented the circle using dowsing rods, would you believe.&nbsp;</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Sure you can stand on that. Made of stone, isn't it? Lie down if you want, I'll take the photo.&nbsp;</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Ooops, the flash makes it look like the stones are glowing. Haha, yeah the thunder is a bit of a coincidence.</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Oh, yes. Actually that is a tentacle round your ankles.</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Well, I never.</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><br><br></p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">---</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><br></p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">In North Yorkshire, not far from where I grew up, there is a lovely stone circle. It was built as a job-creation scheme in the eighteenth century, but it's a fun place to visit - I'll pop a link in the shownotes. I like stone circles, I think we should build more of them.</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><a href="https://visitnorthyorkshire.com/index/the-druids-temple">https://visitnorthyorkshire.com/index/the-druids-temple</a><br></p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">---</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><br></p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Take care, everyone, and I'll see you tomorrow for episode 31.</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><br><br></p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">https://www.elizabethguilt.com/drabbletober/s2episode30</p>
