- like the stones had always been there, and always will be, when I am long turned to dust.
See, there's a bit of me thinks that, cos thousands of years already, but then I think of Durrington Walls, which had 150 stones that just aren't there any more!

And yes - Blood of the Isles is the Brian Sykes book, and I'm really enjoying it - to an extent that's very unlike me with non-fiction books, which I tend to enjoy briefly and then dip in and out of rather than read all through. This one I look forward to picking up, though. It's started off with an excellent run-down explaining why the history of the British Isles is presented the way it is (which completely makes sense of all the disjointed bits that meant there was much about it that I just didn't get as what really could have happened)! Totally worth treating yourself sooner rather than later, I'd say! *g*
