curiouswombatHalf way! This takes me to six months of weekly posts!
My cousin has just arrived to visit for a few days, but neither he nor his motorbike feature... instead
Monday's picture is a pink snapdragon. Not all that unusual - except that I didn't actually plant any snapdragons, I haven't planted any for a couple of years. So I'm guessing that it self-seeded in this pot with a geranium -
Tuesday is simply a rather nice building that I see quite often - it is the headquarters of Royal Skandia, and looks out over the sea.
Wednesday morning was damp and misty. I was visiting a patient who lived up a farm track off a single track road. These farm buildings are, clearly, not in use any more. Such abandoned barns and so forth are not an uncommon sight; I just liked the feel of them, in the damp and mist - although, on the whole, I would have preferred sunshine...
Thursday is simply another patch of gorse and heather - because I like the colours!
Friday was my day for having a clinic at the Cottage Hospital in Ramsey - this is the river that runs down into the harbour there. This lovely spot is about five minutes walk from the hospital.
There used to be a ford there, when I was a child, and I reckon it is still fordable, but it is now labelled 'unsafe for vehicles'. There is a foot bridge but, to get across the gap you can see there, now officially requires a drive of over a mile, either via the ford further up stream, or the bridge over the head of the harbour.
Saturday. I took time to visit Old Braddan Church. I will do a nicely tombstone-centric post tomorrow, which should please![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bogwitch, but if you just walk into the old church there are a collection of Viking and Celtic crosses all over 1,000 years old! This one is Odd's cross - well the base of a cross dedicated to the memory of Odd anyway. It shows two dragons entwined - and was found being used as a lintel over a doorway in the church tower!
Today - it is damp and autumnal again. These are the flowers in church this morning - also getting autumnal!
My cousin is visiting hoping to see some of the classic bike races around the TT course during this week and D-d is currently at the Leeds Music Festival - I hope the weather improves soon!
