Enough!
Like me, and several others here slumpy, this stones stuff gets into your head after awhile and you begin to go mad (I think that's where the term 'getting stoned' comes from :-)

Oh, and Kevin hit the buffers again today - but watch out, that particular phoenix never stays ashen for very long ;-)

It's been different to the usual, because there is so much evidence to refer to - hundreds of paintings, some done from memory, others done from what looks like sheer imagination, but my absolute favourite photo is this one, of our friend Mr Atkinson, saying, "I don't know why people do this with their hands whenever they see me..."

But seriously, it's been horrible casting doubt on the connection between the woodcut and the stones at St James, but I would love to think that the hole that Gowling found [that Atkinson destroyed and misdated] was connected with it/them. There is no reason to think that a sacred stone was not donated from the Cotswolds and put in place long after the sarsens were completed, because the bluestones were returned much later.
