South West England

[WorldVision]

(Just created this region thread because Fabi - back in his English roving days - forgot to create it.)

Anyways, welcome to South West England! Here we present gems from Bristol, Cornwall, Dorset, Devon, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire. Hope you like my short stop around it!

The region is known for its rich folklore, including the legend of King Arthur and Glastonbury Tor, as well as its traditions and customs. Cornwall has its own language, Cornish, and some regard it as a Celtic nation. The South West is known for Cheddar cheese, which originated in the Somerset village of Cheddar; Devon cream teas, crabs, Cornish pasties, and cider. It is home to the Eden Project, Aardman Animations, the Glastonbury Festival, the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, trip hop music and Cornwall's surfing beaches. The region has also been home to some of Britain's most renowned writers, including Daphne du Maurier and Agatha Christie, both of whom set many of their works here, and the South West is also the location of Thomas Hardy's Wessex, the setting for many of his best-known novels.

"The Courier"



Come the courier alone, the high road winds you loose,
Water smoothed the stones, but a weary figure stoops.
Still in the night, there's a curse he must find.

Come the courier alone, and the flurry of suffering.
Past the low-sinking bridge, for the surging river spring.
Still in the night there's a curse he must find.

A mark in stone, the highway home.
A mark in stone, the highway home.

Come the courier alone, for the vivid woods ablaze.
A wild fever forms the pinnacle of his gaze.
Still in the night, there's a curse he must find.

A mark in stone, the highway home.
A mark in stone, the highway home.

Come the courier alone, for a courting moon, so bright.
Come the wayside crowd, the silhouette of grey and white.
Still in the night there's a curse he must find.

A mark in stone, the highway home.
A mark in stone, the highway home. ​

Well, so pretty darn close. Not a shame to the English folk genre, but it's a humiliating moment.
And for now here ends my tenure in SWEN. Off to the Capital we go!
