@Fiona_Forde_Irl @BikerHikerTechy @kopette2005 The Oracle (aka Tom Spalding) mentioned to me some years ago that it was a route that the Roman Catholics took to their church I suspect he will be doing a short evening class in Ashton in Spring 25 if you wish to ask him there ashtonadulteducation.ie/wp-content/upl…

The memorial for the 9 Logan children who all died young. The 6 sons & 3 daughters are individually shown as at the age they were when they died. Their names are carved above each figure. 2 of the girls were called Jean, suggesting the parents reused the name of a deceased child.

@FearStairLmk The two statues on the facade look so interesting Proof that not all progress is good

Then and now. #Limerick

As we prepare to pause on Remembrance Sunday, I thought people would be interested to see this plaque I found, claiming Castle Street, Farnham in Surrey, is where the first ever two minute silence was observed.

This random historical/football connection will forever live in my head rent free

The glass house, 1939 #artbots #magritte

Into the distance, a ribbon of black Stretched to the point of no turning back A flight of fancy on a windswept field Standing alone my senses reeled A fatal attraction is holding me fast How can I escape this irresistible grasp? Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I Ice is forming on the tips of my wings Unheeded warnings, I thought, I thought of everything No navigator to find my way home Unladen empty and turned to stone A soul in tension that's learning to fly Condition grounded but determined to try Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I Above the planet on a wing and a prayer My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air Across the clouds I see my shadow fly Out of the corner of my watering eye A dream unthreatened by the morning light Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night There's no sensation to compare with this Suspended animation, a state of bliss Can't keep my mind from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I #PinkFloyd

The grass was greener The light was brighter The taste was sweeter The nights of wonder With friends surrounded The dawn mist glowing The water flowing The endless river Forever and ever #PinkFloyd

A Tailor’s soul ascends to heaven, leaving behind his Scissors & his Iron. The hourglass lies on its side to show us that his lifetime has stopped, whilst the bones show us that his mortal remains rest in the earth. All of Life, Death & New Life are here.

Immediate initial thought is that I preferred The Undertaking - Thomas Lynch What Remains - Rupert Callender Time rattling around the brain will determine the final ranking

What is on your reading list for the Easter long weekend?

And some time make the time to drive out west Into County Clare, along the Flaggy Shore, In September or October, when the wind And the light are working off each other So that the ocean on one side is wild

Today marks the 53rd anniversary of the release of Pink Floyd's sixth studio album Meddle, which includes the 23-minute long epic Echoes, one of the most prominent songs in the band’s discography.
