"Pereunt et Impuiant"

Back in St Buryan to pick up my newspaper. This is the inscription on the sundial over the door. for more info on this, look at this link: https://bestlatin.blogspot.com/2013/01/sundial-pereunt-et-imputantur.html

The closest translation I can find says "This sundial is from St Buryan Church in Cornwall, England and is dated to the year 1747. The Latin inscription means "They perish and are reckoned," meaning that the hours and days perish and are reckoned to our accounts."

Its a lovely blue sky here - a brief interlude between biblical level rain showers!
