Leading us up a new pathway

Denise, the Leighton Buzzard artist, who we keep bumping into, had invited us to her garden so that we could dowse for the Rowriddy Stone. Her garden backs on to a public open space Adam’s Bottom, through which flowed the Rowriddy stream. Please see previous blogs for full details.
Her garden is very long and the bottom of it had been left wild for wildlife. We dowsed for the stone and we both came to the same conclusion; that it had been sited two gardens along, about a third of the way up from the bottom.

Whilst we were dowsing we picked up some strong energies running along the bottom of her garden, a few feet from the boundary with Adam’s Bottom. It seemed to be about 8 feet wide and traversed the entire width of the garden.

Denise, very kindly, invited us in for a cup of tea after we had finished, to discuss our findings. To our astonishment and delight, it transpired that there used to be a right of way along the bottom of her, and her neighbours’, gardens. In fact, one house at the end of her road still had the right of way going through and was not allowed to disturb it. Obviously, this was the path of energies we had encountered at the bottom of her garden. Well – once again we had been proved to be correct.

We then got to speculating whether this path had led up to, or past the Rowriddy stone. Had it been a type of signpost, leading people on to somewhere else, or had it been a place of pilgrimage? And was it connected to the Mary line? Had this pathway been connected to Firs Path and did it join a path over the other side of Heath Road. We saw a few more exciting dowsing field trips ahead of us to solve the mystery.

After admiring Denise’s paintings, she told us that she was exhibiting some of her paintings in LB theatre and shortly in Cedars School. I’m sure her paintings and those of her fellow artists from Leighton Buzzard Art Society will be flying off the shelves. We thank you very much, Denise, for letting us into your garden and the invaluable information you have given us.
