Or perhaps this ought to be La Raconteurse or to be even more pedantic An Scéalaí. I’ve heard so many wonderful, not to mention unlikely, stories from the Labour Party conference this week I had assumed I’d be storied out. I was listening to Radio 4 this morning after our walk and have never heard such brilliant and amusing commentary. This Irish lady is just fantastic, informative, irreverent, and entertaining. Her name is Eanna Ni Lamhna and if you have half an hour to spare she can be found here at RAMBLINGS.
The weather is fine and cool, it’s a grand day but I have a bit of a mood on. Don’t know why, I'm just fed up. These two pictures are from yesterday. I need a change of scene but am stuck here for another couple of weeks.
Tomorrow, it’s van cleaning day but if it stays fine I may catch the train to Stockton and see what that has to offer.
That’s all for today.
Beautiful photos, Adrian. Lovely colours on that building.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I may be driven to a post on old brick and pan tiles.
DeleteWell built wall to greet you every morning. Great photos. Oh, and yes, because you run that kinda blog, it is "wheat arse".
ReplyDeleteAlmost Bob....It's 'White Arse'.
DeleteSorry.
DeleteThanks for the link, Adrian. What a delightful interview. I like Eanna's advise - go slowly and keep your eyes open.
ReplyDeletePauline she is wonderful and should have a nature ramble programme of her own.
DeleteFarm tracks sounds like an interesting walk. Are these pubic roads or private trails?
ReplyDeleteRed, private but there is no hassle using them as long as dogs are controlled.
DeleteAdrian, I like the color of that first shot. I'm sure you'll find something fun to shoot soon.
ReplyDeleteJoLynne, so do I.
DeleteThanks so much for the link to Ramblings ~ I was pleased to be able to hear the interview because they can be unavailable to those living outside the area. It took me a little while to get into the rhythms of Eanna's speech as she speaks so quickly. Very enjoyable ~ thanks again :)
ReplyDeleteAt least if you're in a mood and 'feel like climbing the wall', you have a lovely one to climb ;)
Glo, that's the Irish for you. My forebears tried to anglisise them but I suspect shooting them was counter productive. They are a great nation of story tellers.
ReplyDeleteI can even hear it in the Outer Hebrides! Probably won't get it in NZ though. Blank nuisance is that.
ReplyDeleteHer thoughts on the lack of snakes in Ireland is just superb.
DeleteBeautiful photos. Love the colours and composition.
ReplyDeleteWish you a great week.
From Hilda
Thanks Hilda.
DeleteLove that farmland photo: almost looks like quintessential rural England - what's left of it!
ReplyDeleteThere is plenty left but not very much that is without wind farms and pylons.
DeleteI suspected from my knowledge of what you are posting that you have been in the one place for some time. You have a done a good job in trying to keep the material fresh ... errr never expected to se the one of the wall though ... with its architectural qualities ! I'd be tearing my hair out by now as I have itchy feet.
ReplyDeleteIt's okay here Jay. Not brilliant but I'm trying to sort things for a full winter in Scotland.
