We used to ‘haunt’ Maes Howe – visited many times, including one very particular time..
In 2013 my back ‘went’ – no more stooping to go down Neolithic passageways – Newgrange was OK as, being a short person, I strolled down the passageway.
Since receiving Reiki Healing from Sam Grey my back is a lot better – still not what could be called soople – but better.

….set me thinking I’d try Maes Howe again. So we did.
We hadn’t been to the Visitor Centre since it moved to Stenness, and were impressed.
There’s a shop with site-related merchandise
and a good selection of books – including the aforementioned ‘What The Architecture Tells Us
On the wall there’s a basic but informative plan of the Neolithic Heart of Orkney which is available folded up and FOR FREE
But what impressed me most was the exhibition of reproduction artefacts
including a groovy bit of grooved ware
my old friend, the Cuween dog
…..and something I have a mild obsession with – Neolithic carved stone balls

And so – to the Cairn itself, and a lively, informative talk given by Tour Guide Rob. No pics allowed inside – but there are lots & lots on-line and in books, and information too, better than anything I’d write here. This is mainly about the ‘new’ Visitor Centre and our return to Maes Howe.
