Going to church and everything, even though we've gotten used to it when we were young, we eventually stray if we don't believe in it solidly. Your place of sanctity sounds incredible :) Do enjoy!

Shame on you...I could almost smell the piney air, and see the foxgloves growing in the hedgerows, and feel my pulse slowing and my mind relaxing....and see through the trees the Shannon, off in the blue haze on the horizon. Wahhh! I want to go home. And you could always stop at the village church [where we both got married, so-o-o long ago], and have a chat with Your Man anyway, or climb the steps to the Stations, or has that been allowed to go to weeds due to the lack of piety in the modern Irishman? <BR/>I remember riding bikes out there, and struggling up that hill to the very top, from where you could see for miles in every direction,and then the wild exhilaration of riding back down at a hundred miles an hour and not having to pedal once. I hope you're proud of yourself for making me so homesick...mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797484583400519909noreply@blogger.com
