Hi Folks,

It is with great sadness that i have to report the death of a very good old friend to Suzanne & Myself, Mr Donald Henry from Grange House who has passed away after a brief illness. I am sure alot of you met Mr Henry when i was able to show you the carvings in the garden of Grange house during the RAM07. Donald was such a character , i found that out on the many number of times i visited him as we at first found the carvings, ( oh that chainsaw story will live with me forever ), and later talked about the carvings, his love of the old cars he stored in his garages and in life in general, the many stories he used to tell me. I am sure i can pass on your kind thoughts to Mrs Henry and the rest his family on this sad occasion. I am really glad that i was able to spend some time with Donald only 2 or 3 weeks ago.

A very sad loss indeed.

This was the second panel of rock art on the itinerary of the Rock Art Meet 2007. The bushes meant that only three or four people could visit at a tme, so the viewing was done in shifts.

It tripped off the continuation of a discussion that’s been bubbling for a couple of years now, due to the way in which the complex three lobed motif at the centre of the panel emerges from a substantial natural cleft.

If there is anything in the theory that natural features, particularly fissures/clefts, influenced the choice of the rock to be marked, then the subsequent placing of motifs, then this panel is a good example.
