That is indeed the mystery stone .... in the bad old days when I had to work, it was on my desk to remind me. But remind me of what, some might ask .... well, it came from somewhere on this map.... somewhere special .... ... like the beautiful sand-bar between St. Agnes and Gugh. Walking across that sand-bar one day, I spotted that well-shaped chunk of granite, and thought .. I'll have that ..... it will make a smashing thing to put on my desk.... and it will remind me of that moment. And it's always been on whatever my desk has been over the years since. It's radioactive you know. But I'm not over-worried. Here's a close up of that sand-bar..... the stone was roughly at the 4th dot from the left ..... The more erudite of my readers will have noticed that in the background, behind said stone, is a page from the well-known sarcastic birding mag " Not BB." But more of that later. The thing with Scilly is ... it's too beautiful. It's very very difficult to leave it. It's really a complete little world of its own. If you haven't been, then do it. If a lazy git like me has been, so can you. In life, it's the things you haven't done that you regret.... not the things you have. Yes , I'm a philosophical old Hector. As far as I know, there isn't a Jazz Club on Scilly .... but there is one on here....
