Testament

Testament - 'something that serves as a sign or evidence of a specified fact, event, or quality'

 

This is another perspective of the standing stone that sits up on Ipstones Edge (I posted a photo a month or two back). It certainly bears testament in a number of ways, testament to what it once was (I don't know! probably a big gatepost), testament to the people who originally laid the stone hundreds of years ago - seeing as it's still standing proud despite the strong cross winds that have battered it over the centuries, and also testament to the people who once carved their initials on it.

 

I hate seeing things with history defaced but I must admit, I carved into to trees when I was a teenager - didn't seem to matter then! it was usually Panda (what I was known as back then!) loves (insert name of then girlfriend) and a heart! Oh dear, at least I grew up!
