Millennia pass.
Continents collide.
Oceans swell, ebb, freeze.
Rocks accrete…
..and, in England, form
its nubbly spine: the Pennines.



Men gathered scattered stones - erected walls, marching across dales, hills, moors holding fast the sheep or meadowland. These stony barricades are the landscape - like the rocks from which they came.
