Barrows are quite extraordinary ... seeing that the countryside is still full of them. We are lucky we can learn so much about our history, and pre-history ... dressing for the weather is a challenge - it's been freezing out in the wind down here on the coast ... yet in a sheltered spot in the sun it's really warm. Lovely to think about ... and yes clothes - and if we have too many, we have to carry them ... I'm glad you had a happy time - all the best - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-82470356091015944582021-04-23T04:22:16.427+01:002021-04-23T04:22:16.427+01:00thank you for sharing this piece of British histor...thank you for sharing this piece of British history. it's amazing what prehistoric people can built. wonder what the weather is like there 5,500 years ago. :)dsnake1https://www.blogger.com/profile/08724264906690080704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-87824399905797319982021-04-23T00:04:37.803+01:002021-04-23T00:04:37.803+01:00Interesting hike!Interesting hike!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720030744345215307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-42181701915230080512021-04-22T22:55:41.613+01:002021-04-22T22:55:41.613+01:00Greetings, CiL .... it has been a long time ....
...Greetings, CiL .... it has been a long time ....<br /><br />Places like Belas Knap are extraordinary to my way of thinking and I envy you for the rich history and prehistory which abound only a hop, skip and a jump away from you. Love this post ....<br /><br />You are correct about April. I frequently go from winter parka to summer shirt the same day. Snow flurries this morning; no shirt this afternoon.<br /> <br />As for Mr. Eliot, I judge each month on the basis of what it has been for me in the overall scheme of things.
