A whole farm-full of lavender, that must have smelled amazing! If only there were such a thing as rose-farms :-) ( I love the scent of roses even more). And a neolithic barrow. Wow.
I sometimes like to remind myself how almost unimaginable our way of life would seem to people of that era, and wonder if our own imaginations fall just as far short if we in turn try to dream up how people might be living in the future, after a similar lapse of time ... but I suspect that things will never be quite so unimaginable again, if only because we are now used to the idea that things change and that cultures and technologies can change radically. If we don't fuck up the planet beyond habitability ...
