How much do we know about Stonehenge? Less than we think. And what has Stonehenge got to do with the Ice Age? More than we might think. This blog is mostly devoted to the problems of where the Stonehenge bluestones came from, and how they got from their source areas to the monument. Now and then I will muse on related Stonehenge topics which have an Ice Age dimension...

Thank you for the birthday greetings!
Nothing to do with Stonehenge or the Ice Age -- just old age! But herewith some grateful thanks for the cheery greetings I received yesterday, from assorted old friends of this blog, on reaching the ripe old age of 80. Much appreciated, folks! We had a quiet day, with just our son Martin over from Somerset -- but we did enjoy an excellent rainbow trout for supper, a rather fine zoom session with our nearest and dearest from assorted parts of the globe, together with many video greetings from old friends. These modern whizzo gadgets are sometimes rather useful.
Today, back to normal, with house cleaning, gardening, repairing the paving in the back yard, and showing some potential buyers around the house and grounds. So life goes on........

Happy birthday Brian. 80 is the next 50.
I've just noticed Sir Patrick Stewart [he of Star Trek, et al] has recently become an octogenerian too - he says he's "going to work and work"......I'm sure we all hope Brian continues to add contributions to his great Blog, which is a pillar of scientific commonsense amidst all the hype and hubris.
Belated birthday wishes, Brian, from Jamie Smith and your friends in Bishops Castle.
