   My 75 year old Mother in Law said in passing that she'd really like to visit some standing stones one day. She's lived in the NE for most of her life. I'm bamboozled at how she managed to miss them. She's never gone for a walk in the country where she didn't know exactly where a path led to, or just gone exploring for the sake of it.
   Knows all about all the soaps, strictly come baking in the jungle, but not her own place. Makes me a bit sad. We went to see two before tea.

     @CloudyMrs I was brought up & lived in the NE (Newburgh, Tarves) but moved away nearly 30 years ago. Your picture reminded me of what I miss: big sky, Benachie and stone circles.

     @geomannie I cycle a circle that takes in Newburgh and Tarves very often. Here's a spot you'll maybe know.

     @annekekassteele There are thousands like her who live their whole lives within about a five mile radius of their own house. Each to their own, I suppose.

     @CloudyMrs In which case aye! In our early teens my pals and I would oft cycle Newburgh to Collieston on a summer's day.
