Hi Rhiannon

I know I'm very lucky to live down here and I realise that I do take things for granted sometimes...but where do you draw the line? Perhaps I should have photographed the field at Harlyn Bay...good excuse to go back...but it would not be much of a photo. I sometimes feel guilty about putting photos of small piles of rock on just because they are a cairn...but thats because there are so many to chose from and unless you live down here the chances are no one else is ever going to bother to go look at them because there is so much more to look at.

Something tells me Im digging myself in further....

I will continue to do my best to record all the lumps and bumps in Cornwall for those of you not so lucky to live down here...even if they look really boring!

Is that OK?

PS I have a slight problem at the moment in that my trusty camera is suffering from being sandblasted on a Norfolk beach over the New Year whilst getting intimate with some seals!

PPS Keep up the good work Rhiannon, I might be living in Cornwall but I don't have the time to read as much as you do.

heheh just so long as you know!! And I wouldn't be wasting time on a bumpy field if I was surrounded by burial chambers and big rocks, I'm sure.

Sometimes I think though, if you've got the background waffle you can bring unprepossessing piles of rocks to life a bit, can't you (which is what you do for a living I think? and why I persist with my postings -you're right I'm lucky to have time to read). Also (and this is a whinge I do have with lots of sites on tma) there's more to see at a barrow/pile of stones than just the monument itself, like the view from it, or its relationship to other features/sites in the landscape, which make you think about why it was put where it was put. Which I'm sure is at the forefront of lots of people's minds when they trek out to these places and stop for a sarnie. Like as an example, I imagine the field at Harlyn must have a beautiful view of the bay and its big surfy waves?
