Morfe, your grandpa chose wisely. He'll leave you a gift – a whole beautiful hill to remember him by, instead of a fading headstone in a line of others. And he'll have done well for himself, a memorial the pharaohs would envy.
All grandfathers should do the same. As one, I’m going to be deposited (preferably without official sanction, as it would amuse me) along a length of the Ridgeway, just where I can play the Silbury game along the back of Waden (true). As I’m older than most of you lot, it’s likely I’ll be there when you are still able to walk along that way, so if I find it’s at all in my power I’ll do my best to give you all a hell of a sense of place…
