Thank you! I was there 2 weeks ago, it looks magnificent. Grazed by wallabies, don't you know...

An archaeologist recently described it to me as 'crap' but not having seen it, I'm withholding judgement. Here's the Watlington White Mark today, half an hour from sunset.

Can I interest you in any apples, pears or quince? All reasonable offers considered and some unreasonable ones too.

A stone cross I came across on a walk in Devon at the weekend. This one has an unusual head, found and retrieved from a nearby hedge in 1924 by a Reverend Robson.
