flint is abundant in the chalk hills from whence I came from and here there is no natural deposits you can find flint though, washed up after a storm on the beaches, being a heavy stone it was used for ballast in bygone days and leaches from the many wrecks to be found around our archipelago. My Father built garden walls with the stuff, and many a cottage has flint as building material back in our Shire. Flint is mentioned in the Psalms, ' I will set my face like flint' says the psalmist, the poet, the songster, the very Human spirit inspired by the Holy Spirit, to be single minded, that mind, of course, being love.
