St Fagans

Ok, lot has happened since I last wrote. Too much to say to even start but I just can't stop to think about all the crap going on in the world at the moment - life's too short. I'm sticking my head in the sand (or up me arse) and marching on. Here are some photos from today instead.

Another blistering day, this summer is a scorcher and dragging me into constant inaction. Got out for an hour with the family this afternoon and took a few snaps around the gardens of St Fagans Castle. My camera batteries choked on me at the moment of taking possibly the best photo ever, a twisty image of a startled nun behind an ornate gate with the spire of the church in the background. Boy did I feel cheated there. Damn batteries. So instead, here's some algae, some flora, some insects, some steps and the Mother Teresa Fan Club looking unstartled. (Don't forget to hover over the images for tiny descriptions in the alt tags)

Castle turret - been behind scaffold for years - nice to finally see it...

Oh and I'm dying to know what was in that giant checkered tote bag the two people are carrying--now that's a lunch!; 11:57 PM
