5000 years old mine and the Den Dam

Much as it pains me to join in, I’ve relented and done some exercise. Don’t worry, it’s only five minutes on a bike from my house and as always, I like to keep the rest of society in the distance. Nobody comes here, although 5000 years ago it was quite busy, they had a flint mine and I presume, an adjacent shop where you could buy your arrow heads.

I've forgotten the last day of bad weather ..... non stop sun and dry ....it's like the memories of childhood but happening right now ... hope you enjoyed your bike ride. Wife and I were out chainsawing willow out of the burn through the woods yesterday .....sunny, dry, just enough of a breeze down there to make physical work pleasant ....and no midges ..... haven't enjoyed a chore so much in ages ..... we've been blessed in this corner weather-wise K

I drove over the rake and snapped the handle earlier, so I burned it along with any twigs I could find in a rusty old biscuit tin. Tasted adequate, wasn’t my worst effort.
