Green Rolling Fields......

Green rolling fields of the West Midlands I once went to see you on a dark and dismal day Walking and walking those little legs of mine Did walk a very long way I thought about where we were going Of your old Kingdom I knew not We climbed and climbed up slippery sodden paths Right to the top of a hill Took my very breath away Spread before us was a very awesome spectacular view I wanted to stay there all day My heart stood very still I took in all of your beauty Far away I could see that you must have been a good King Although you were overthrown by the long boats of another land No mercy was to you shown This is a video of Beacon Hill Sedgley that was once used as a spy the enemy from a distance From here you can also parts of Shropshire and most of what was West Mercia as it was then. Its an industrial part of the Midlands but there are huge rolling field stuck in between and its the highest point of the West Midlands above sea level. This is very close to where I was born although there is no Caslte of such it was part of what was known as West Mercia before the Danes invaded those parts. Alfred the Great had this King as a kind of partner to keep order.
