Sir Walter Raleigh
A Memory of East Budleigh.
Visited Sir Walter's birthplace at Hayes Barton and touched the house to link with his history and spirit. Beautiful location and could imagine him as a young man looking out over the same countryside that I could survey. It was a special moment and I could feel his presence and aura in the atmosphere of that special place. Found a loose piece of flint from the outside chimney running up the middle of the house into the deep blue, sunny sky. I felt at peace and at one with this great man and all that it brought to our history. Made me proud to be an Englishman and in my own way an explorer of the 21st century.
