It has been a grand day, cooler than it has been so more in keeping with the season. The man flu is at it’s worst but I’m dosing myself with pomegranate and nettle tea laced with honey and of course a dash of eau de vie. I don’t really like fruit teas but it’s a way of making perfectly good whisky taste like medicine.
I couldn’t be bothered taking photographs on our walk which was just a quick hours loop through Tank Wood and up to the old well which I still haven’t found; it must be the fifth time I’ve gone looking for it. I’ll have to ask a local where it is exactly. I’ll ask the gorgeous mummy I saw in the butchers yesterday. I have instructions and know to go through two kissing gates so that bodes well.
I did stop in the old grave yard and had another look round. 
Have a good week whatever you are up to.
How old is that grave stone? It looks ancient. I hope you'll find that well. Maybe the 6th time's the charm.
ReplyDeleteMersad, very old 1736. All the towns water used to come from the hills in the east. I have been here many times but will find the well this time.
Deleteadriaan which is a very beautiful there oudeen still intact grafsteen.en a Beautifulhalf metgewldige clock tower
ReplyDeleteBas, it is beautiful but much of it is getting a bit run down.
DeleteInteresting headstone Adrian, did you check on the side to see if there might be an E or two hiding there somewhere?
ReplyDeleteKeep taking that 'medicine', I'm sure it'll work in the end?...[;o)
Trevor, I never checked the back either. It is great I like whimsical objects.
DeleteMe gusta esa torre Adrian, tendrás que volver y enseñarnosla entera;))
ReplyDeletePero antes cuídate el resfriado.
Un abrazo.
Laura, martes parece que será soleado. Voy a ir luego.
DeleteLove the headstone
ReplyDeleteCarol, it is wonderful.
DeleteI love that old church with 'golden' time.
ReplyDeleteBob, it brightened it up.
DeleteGreat tombstone. It's done well for the inscription to be readable after so many years.
ReplyDeleteJohn, it must have been deeply incised. I'll have another look at it and see if there are any more.
DeleteI think that stone mason was in the same class at school as me, great set of picks (pun)
ReplyDeletepeter
Peter, and me. I was about seven before I could spell my name. We were lucky I very much doubt that he went to school.
DeleteKeep care of yourself. The bug kicks us old guys...get lots of sleep and fluids.
ReplyDeleteR.Mac, I'll be fine again soon. Many thanks.
DeleteThis is a very different day for you. No trying to bend your mind around some obscure photography challenge.
ReplyDeleteThe stone is fascinating. Obviously the guy who was paying the bill didn't know the difference either.
Red, I doubt he did. I will try and find out what the percentage of literate people was in 1750.
DeleteStay warm and hope the tea works its magic for you. Love the old gravestone, it's in good condition considering its ages.
ReplyDeletePauline, I must have walked past it half a dozen times. I'm glad I noticed it.
DeleteSorry you are poorly. When you get a chance do go into the Church. The woodwork in there is amazing. Touch it - it feels like silk - absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeletePat, I'm hoping to take a good look at it tomorrow. There usually seems to be someone about when I walk past.
DeleteI love that clock tower.
ReplyDeleteMaria. I like the church. I hope to give it a good look tomorrow.
DeleteI too like the clock with the Golden face a neat bit of editing
ReplyDeleteDouglas, neat or desperation? I like Photoshop.
