Reminded me of Lower Nubia but more clement.<br /><br />Steve Marshall's paean to Avebury is published. "Exploring Avebury the Essential Guide. BUY IT. Stupid price, less than £15.(what is that, a couple of bottles of White Lightning and a kebab, lots of pictures for the slower reader, so no whinging comments please that it is not free).<br /><br />This book should be on the list of best Archy books 2016. It shows what a non-professional archaeologist(Steve cannot be called an amateur in any respect)can do.<br /> <br />It has the very great attribute of restraint, with a sparse well-pitched text and photos, photos, photos. Imagine being taken around the sites on a warm June evening with an urbane, knowledgeable, favourite grand uncle with the promise of a drink at the end. <br /> <br />BRAVO.<br /><br />Myris<br />Myris of Alexandrianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228690739485734684.post-49544503171725063472016-04-24T15:22:41.317+01:002016-04-24T15:22:41.317+01:00Original post - Beatles [the band originally known...Original post - Beatles [the band originally known as The Quarrymen, Myris and MPP, in the '50's!!] Paul McCartney song, "Silly Love Songs.<br /><br />One line is:-<br /><br /> It isn't silly, it isn't silly at all......<br /><br />Let's hope that Brian's recent Scillies field trip, which has produced this wealth of Quaternary glacial observation, will indeed lead to a better understanding of the Quaternary in the southern British Isles, and consequently more wisdom in thinking regarding the movement of glacial erratics, etc, from SW Wales towards what we term Wessex (i.e, in particular, Somerset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire).TonyHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228690739485734684.post-85525634295941034192016-04-23T23:26:11.991+01:002016-04-23T23:26:11.991+01:00Sorry if people have got a bit bored with all this...Sorry if people have got a bit bored with all this Scilly stuff. I think I have said more or less what I wanted to say now, after a flood of posts! For better or worse, I wanted to get the info on the record -- including the photos, which I think might be important for our better understanding of the Quaternary in the southern British Isles.
