This menhir is simply wonderful, Paula. So thanks for the introduction. Somehow Corsica was completely missed out in my Prehistory and Archaeology course. Clearly we missed out on a lot. I must follow it up. In the meantime here’s my Iron Man/Woman of the Llyn Coastal Path in Wales: http://wp.me/pKVAM-20k I shall be off-line for a few days. So cheers for now 🙂

Popping back to be a pest. 🙂 Can you tell me when the next TS Traces of the Past is due, Paula? I have something that I was going to post tomorrow but it’s such a good fit that it seems a shame not to wait. I’m in the Algarve from next Thursday so it would have to be scheduled. Perhaps not a good idea as I couldn’t link up. 😦 Have you any more holidays due? Hope the pressure is manageable. Hugs, darlin’.
