My eldest son was born in Scotland as too was one of my granddaughters. I have long had a love affair with Scotland even though I am English through and through, apart from some Huguenot. Scotland appears to be split right down the middle, so if nearly half of the country do not get their wish I envisage great harm will have been done to the social cohesion of what is a wonderful country.

How wonderful for us that you have opened up some hidden delights of Derbyshire as they are certainly new to us.<br /><br />The carvings on the tombs are so very fine. The detail is magnificent and it is so interesting to observe the symbolism that is so often evident in these early carvings. As you say, well worth making the detour.<br /><br />And, how strange the carvings are of bodies in shrouds. A mystery which would be intriguing to uncover!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-35476959315861325292014-09-14T12:39:36.853+01:002014-09-14T12:39:36.853+01:00Glad that you enjoyed seeing it JaneGlad that you enjoyed seeing it JaneRosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.com
