Your good wishes are appreciated, but on this occasion misplaced.  I had to take my son up to Mildenhall for an interview which was why I was away from the main machine.  Having said which, that was the first night away (other than hospital trips) since before the pandemic.  These drugs certainly mess you up, the only thing is that they keep the bloody cancer at bay and keep me above ground, so I'll keep taking them!

Thanks MartinR. I hope you are recovered from your hospital trip. That one took some searching  ;D

Right, I'm back from darkest Suffolk.  John Walker has it.  From the viewpoint you can see the Thames and across the river to Essex.  You'll need binoculars though, or else a rather long lens.

Must be a good half a dozen miles from there as a rather deranged crow might fly.  Google Maps shows things in Napoleonic units unfortunately.

PS: I'll be away from my computer from Sunday to Monday evening, so you'd better get it quick or there will be a delay.

Time for a hint: from this location you can see another county and a river.

Well Stewie, you've got the flint blade (I think it's a scraper, but knife is close enough).  Oi, Johnfilmer: leave my wheels out of this! :P

Looks like a flint knife or blade.

No idea where this carving is so far.

Is it a tool in the fist?
