Today is the final placement of the capstone of Carwynnen Quoit, a neolithic monument, which collapsed over forty eight years ago.  I think it is the first rebuilt monument in recent Cornish history and it is especially significant that it is rebuilt on the Summer Solstice.  I will be out to take shots of it and will saddle up with shades and sunblock, because it promises to be absolutely roasting :-)
