St Michael's Mount



Note to all Beaker People. There are many connections between St Michael's Mount in Cornwall, and Mont St Michel in Normandy. There is the Celtic connection; the association between these two similar rocks and St Michael; the potential pagan underlay; the frankly barmy idea about the Dragon Ley (which, needless to say, also passes through Husborne Crawley).

What they are not is the same place. It's not funny to affect to be French, and wander around addressing people as "garcon". If you inform them that the monkey is in the tree, or that "Sylvianne pique tout le monde", they will wonder what you are on about.

On another matter, the event at Men-an-Tol. Yes, Grafmir did eat too many Cornish Cream Teas. However the Fire Brigade tell me that within twenty-four hours, dehydration will have lost him enough weight to get out.
