Faery brew and The Heather Drink

I found this bottle at the end of 'The Last Queen' walk in Horner woods. At first I thought, oh there's some litter, I'll take it home and put it in the recycling rather than leave it here spoiling a beautiful spot. But then I noticed it was not that new, the glass looks hand made and the words sandblasted onto the glass were unique.

This is no bottle discarded into the hedge by louts this is a piece of art placed in this special place. The engraving says 'A woodland house in a row of three' does anyone know what it is and why it was there?

I do know that I am not the first artist to do a trail in this place and am intrigued to find those who have trod the path before and pick their brains.

I thought I might brew some special beer (when I've given it a proper clean!!) ready for another walk. It does remind me of a story I used to tell around schools and festivals called The Heather Drink. It was based on a Scottish legend about the Picts who were early medieval people living in the highlands and brewed a drink from the purple heather.

It was said to taste like nothing on earth and anyone who tasted just a drop would become free hearted, fearless and fair. It's one of those great stories that has it's feet on some good historical truths and blends them with true storytelling guile. Ask me and I shall be happy to share it with you, and in return you could share your heather drink with me.
