    Okay, here we have a slab of Granite, which is a common type of felsic intrusive igneous rock that’s is granular and phaneritic in texture. Granite is an igneous rock with between 20% and 60% quartz by volume and at least 35% feldspar, with some mica and other amphibole materials.

    This granite would have been formed during the late Paleozoic continental collision around 250-500 million years ago. The piece in the picture has a small round indentation that would have been formed by an iron age inhabitant of the village where it was found. The indentation would either have been formed from grinding barley, oats or corn possibly to make a simple form of bread. Or it may have been formed as a foothole for a wooden pole as part of a support for a thatched roof.

    You have actually got some great rocks in that part of the world (but that's not one of them). We used to come down regularly for field trips. Need to get down for a holiday with the Mrs.

    Thought I saw the first ever scouse super hero today, he was running down our street wearing a cape...

    Turns out he hadn't paid for his haircut.

    Can hardly get angry when puppies are involved. Decided to call her Bunty. She is a brown cockerpoo. Though she got her from pikeys so could be anything.
