This one of those stones that makes you weep! Sat in a the manicured front garden of a new bungalow this stone should be weeping.

A very sad sight (new bungalows that is ... when will people learn they look horrible and do not belong in rural areas like this?). The stone just adds to the atmosphere of pending doom.
