Blue stone

close
more_vert

I think it is the same stuff that's so prevalent up on the cuestas around Haltwhistle. It's kinda bluey, and whilst I did once hold a candle for the idea that one of the mad, bad and dangerous to know Deleval family may have nicked a bit of Stonehenge, it's not the same kind of stone.

With woad, of course, there'd have been blue people as well as blue stones. Can we see the eastern horizon from the standing stone ?
