This and that...

Some mad man's put up a cross

Today was wet and we didn't want to go far as MIL had to be delivered back to the airport this evening. So we went for a quick jolly to the Jim Clark memorial in Kilmany then decided to pop in to Balmerino Abbey on the way back. The abbey ruins are really quite interesting and it seems very peaceful - love wandering round places like this and imagining what it must have been like in days gone by and whose footsteps I might be walking in. In amongst the ruins there is this giant wooden cross which apparently marks the grave of the abbey's benefactor. Which is all very nice and obviously important to the monks that lived there but I couldn't help thinking about that episode of Father Ted where he puts up a giant cross outside the parochial house... "Some mad man's put up a cross" lol

And so MIL is now away and it's back to 'normal' for us again - it's been a fun week and our little day trips are about as close as we'll probably get to a holiday this year. Making the most of tomorrow then back to the grind on Monday :(
