Bought at a local charity shop, as it looked interesting at the time. But I have too many others books waiting to be read, that, despite my reluctance, I will let it go and find a reader.

Short description: A story of love and loss and the cultivation of a new breed of rose set against the backdrop of Helmingham Hall in Suffolk during the 1920s.

Released on Sunday, July 20, 2003 at Corrimony Chambered Cairn in Cannich, Highlands Scotland.

Left in the tunnel into the Chambered Cairn

Corrimony Cairn -- a prehistoric burial chamber:
It is considered a fine, restored example of a typical large Clava Cairn. A large cairn of water washed pebbles houses a central chamber, and a circle of standing stones surrounds the whole. The central chamber was reached by long, low passage which still retains some of its roof lintels. The site was excavated by Stuart Piggot in 1952, when it was discovered that four of the eleven standing stones in the circle were replacements. This happened before 1874, and two of the capstones of the roof of the long chamber were mistaken for circle stones and erected south of the entrance in 1882. Piggot's excavation also uncovered the outline of a crouched burial which had been removed in the late 19th century.

I have just returned from holiday where I found the book, and I plan to read it as soon as I have finished my current book.
