I mentioned yesterday that I had taken some pictures of scenery, but would leave posting until today. They were taken last week, Wednesday I think, on a warm day that was not quite as clear and sunny as most this past few weeks. I was travelling from Port Erin, in the South, to St John's - by the more coastal route, known as The Sloc road.
I stopped to take some pictures of a deserted farmhouse, and then took a few more along the way. It is surprising, sometimes, how much empty space there is on our small island.
( click for ruins, emptiness - oh, and a horse... )
Taking pictures reminds me how fortunate I am to live somewhere where it is still possible to be so alone, in such beautiful (well, to me) emptiness.
Oh - and... today the weather broke - about 3pm, whilst I was in clinic at the hospital, unable to get home to take in the washing I'd hung out at lunch time... I've just left it out; it'll dry again, sometime, I guess!
Also I must share D-d's text message from Italy - "Ate Pizza. Saw Colosseum, Forum, Vatican and THE POPE!! Going to Pisa and Florence. Getting on really well with everyone." Sounds good!
