Eternal Refuge

But, another busy day

The reason for these days off is because one of the people I work with is on holiday with her parents, the other has had surgery.

But, health wise it will do me good, and I am keeping busy.  I could have worked somewhere else in the hospital, but I have opted to stay home and relax (a lot of walking over the weekend, and I did really well health wise, but I am not going to push myself and take a back step)

This morning it was great as both my missing clocks came home.  They had both stopped at the start of the pandemic and I have really missed hearing the ticks.  The one in my study strikes on the hour and was bought when my great-grandfather was living & working in New York in 1890.  I inherited it when my grandmother sold her house in 1980.  The other one which hangs in my lounge, was the wedding present for a different great-grandfather in 1880, and mu inherited it when he died in 1953.  So they have always been around in mum's life, and now mine.  It is so great they are back on the walls.

While waiting for them to arrive I made some ginger biscuits, so now I have to get back to my photographs ... ready to be spammed later.

Hope you are all having a fun day, as well ...  as ever, before I go -

Yesterday I had a great day out with Christine while she is on half term.  We went to Dunster Castle (photos to come), and managed to avoid the rain showers.  It was a fascinating place, having been lived on since about 1000, and basically having had the same family live there over the last 700 years, until they handed it to the National Trust.

Thought I would share a few random pictures, anyway.  I took this rainbow last month - so great to see the range of colours (even to my colourblind eyes.  This image was taken with me standing on my front door step.


Last week Tim & Claire replaced the flowers at Mum & Dad's grave (we keep a small posy of silk flowers there), and they also cut the grass around it, and tidied things up ... so thought I would share, for those who haven't seen the stones, or the lovely tranquil location that they rest in.  Now you can see why I love going for a walk around the cemetry each week.



And, Jiffy always decides which way we are going to stroll, so I get to see all sorts of graves ... and I spotted the Titanic stone last week


And, for those who are not members of  photo_scavenger I thought you might like to see my posts of my last 3 prompts ... roadsign, ornament & old

Yay - we get an extra hour in bed tonight!!

We all love clocks in our family - and this is one of the many at Mum and Dad's ... I re-started this, took the picture, and then headed out for Church this morning. This one is Mums, and belonged to her Grandfather - in fact was a wedding pressie to him, from his parents, and had been hanging in their house (He married in 1885)



I am now off to change all the clocks in my place!
