Wookey Hole Caves, Somerset

[squirmelia]

The caves were flaunting their illumination as we wandered in deeper, and I wanted to dive in, like those before me, explore the caves with my hair slippery. I heard the tales of hyenas, and how some of the stalactites encrusted to the ceilings are supposed to look like the Statue of Liberty, and some of the stalagmites attempting to flee the ground are shaped like witches and elephants.

To me, the stalagmites were candles, and the stalactites my breath.


Such pretty caves.

We walked together through the hall of mirrors, drifting out of the path of glass, listening to the twanging noises of others meeting their reflections.

The paper mill made me want to shred all my old jeans into tiny little pieces, so that I can shake them into rectangles and write on them.

I love caves too. When I was little after playing Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, I wanted my hobby to be spelunking too!

Maybe I will dig deep into my flowerbeds and discover caves under there, or make them out of cocktail sticks and hardened fondue.

I remember visiting the Marble Arch Caves (http://www.enniskillen.com/marblearchcaves.html) here a couple of years back. They said their was a devil living deep in the caves. When we found it it was sitting crosslegged on a ledge wearing a Manchester United top. There is little that the concept of Product Placement hasn't touched.

They're not caves, they're dinosaurs.
