'Sweet mystery of life ..'

'... at last I've found you' sang Richard Tauber - or was it Mario Lanza? - o those many years ago.

That's what came to mind when I saw this article on the BBC about two neolithic skeletons hugging. Of course, we don't actually know what happened, what the circumstances of their death and burial might have been or what it all means. It's a nice image, two young people in love and being buried together, sleeping peacefully for 5,000 years only to be disturbed by us (we're noisey, nosey critters, aren't we?).

That's a long cuddle.
