Megalithic Mumblings

occasional random thoughts, diary entries and anything else I deem worthy of inclusion, such as accounts of my erstwhile forays amongst the ancient sites of Britain. Several of the posts here first appeared on the Modern Antiquarian or Heritage Action web sites.

Day of rest

Today was a day of 'not much', which started with a trip over to Kenwyn Church to see the well there (the church was locked) before heading into Truro. The Royal Cornwall Museum has an exhibition of Batik work by Annabel Carey, 'Spirit of the Stones', depicting various ancient sites. The images were very evocative and thought provoking, but were let down but the lighting which threw hideous reflections not allowing a full appreciation of the work. Elsewhere in the museum, I found the Rialton Barton stone which we'd been unsuccessful in finding the other day when driving through Rialton Barton!

Fully sated on the various neolithic goodies in the museum, we headed off for Kea Church (also locked), before ending up in Pool where I purchased a graphics tablet in Tesco for the princely sum of £23. Before getting back to play with it though (much impressed BTW!) we diverted via Portreath for lunch in the Basset Arms and a quick walk on the sand.
