I love to collect stones too but mine are usually more of the pebble size....in fact I always have a lucky one in my purse...possibly not a good idea to use this one of yours like that though :-)<br />Stay safe and warm in your foggy home.<br />A xAnniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12564678114875826791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22769896.post-32633468111118596892010-11-23T06:48:52.881+00:002010-11-23T06:48:52.881+00:00Your corner of the world looks magical , at the mo...Your corner of the world looks magical , at the moment . <br />Lovely stone . Perhaps it was used to make animal skins supple , after the hair had been scraped off . Perhaps it was the Neanderthal equivalent of worry beads .<br />A beautiful thing .SmitoniusAndSonatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11210817141287881808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22769896.post-41884765976062305772010-11-23T03:03:56.898+00:002010-11-23T03:03:56.898+00:00Nothing you ever post is boring.

Thank you.<br /><br />Those misty photos are gorgeous, and tell me a lot about that kindgom of yours.<br /><br />The stone. Its a beautiful sculpture. And most likely fits very well in the hand. I like Fennie's suggestions about what it might be.<br /><br />I would love to be able to have just one fresh egg for a breakfast one day in a fortnight. I can understand why you want to keep those hens around<br /><br />And you got to hear beautiful music, too.<br /><br />Boring?

Looks magical as well as beautiful. Maybe a Neolithic discus. Or more likely a clothes pounder (it was found in the river) or a corn crusher, perhaps. Or maybe it was a firestone. Something to warm in the fire and take to bed afterwards to air the clothes. (Very civilised people the Neolithics - not Stone Age at all).Fenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377814681496294457noreply@blogger.com
