      Very interesting observation, Brenda. I hope to go to Ireland next summer and shoot the Famine Memorial.

    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 🙂

    Here are some traces of the past Paula- sad to see a box of photos with whoever they were connected to in life gone too I would assume. You have allowed their faces to be shared once more. https://dailymusing57.com/2016/09/20/black-white-sunday-traces-of-the-past-2/

    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’.
