I will remember to bring more goodies with us next time we come. Richard did you say that the house was owned by an English family before you, I just wondered if they had anything to do with the Eagle tablets of stone?. Its great to see you on line again. Love to all Lynn Gledhill Hi Richard & Lisa

Sort of daft thing I'd do... The eagle things are interesting, particularly since the word is written in English. Do you have any idea what they are made of? The museum in Fontenay might be able to suggest something. Welcome back into circulation, by the way. No one wins any prizes sticking their fingers in light sockets – do be more careful!

There's another photo here http://www.flickr.com/photos/aragornsbeard/3491482911/ that shows the cross-section a bit better. The museum may well be a good option - I'll give them a try. Oh, and thanks Jon - it's great to be back in the hotseat again!
