Memorial

I was out on a job today and saw this interesting memorial in the grounds of St Helens Church.

There are two cannon balls at the base that have been made into vases and the impact of a cannon ball can be clearly seen on the granite block. It was erected around 1858.

Here are the words cut into the face of the stone – click on the image for a full-sized version.

I have increased the contrast in this mono image to make the text more readable.

The Walk Back

I only plan a short walk today as I have to get back to the office to sort out a data back up issue for a client.

It was a bright sunny start to the day, so after tea whilst still in my sleeping bag, it was breakfast outside by the lake.

The titanium mug with lid kept the early morning bugs out of the tea water – I put it on the beaker afterwards to keep them out of the tea.

Breakfast was cereal bars and tea – Diana bought me something different – Apple and Oat bar made by “The Fabulous Bakin’ Boys”, they were very good and I will be using them again.
