Iona

I've been sorting out some pictures...

Walking to the ferry at Fionnphort, on the Isle of Mull

Landed!

Baile Mor, Iona's village

The ruins of the old Augustinian convent

An Iona bee on the ivy-leaved toadflax that grows everywhere

St Mary's Abbey

The High Cross at the Abbey

The Cloisters

Inside the Abbey Church

Today's reading is John 15.18-21...

The High Altar

Ferns in the chancel wall!

The font - the legs are of Iona marble

Gardens in Baile Mor

Bishop's House, the Anglican retreat house

An old cat in the sun...

The post box

Baile Mor from the beach, with the Abbey behind

Swanage Bay

I love this place – I am just so blessed to be living here!

Woolly photoblogging…

My recent post, Autumn, and Sue’s post about it on Discombobula, generated all sorts of interest in the comments, so I thought I’d better post a few pictures…

This is the old village of Wool, looking along Spring Street (each house has its own little bridge over the Spring)

and here is the church where I worship, The Church of the Holy Rood (the building dates from the 14th century)

Where I live is more modern, though

but the view out the back is nice

Now, this is the view from Maggot Hill that I wrote about (picture taken in springtime…)

and here’s the little stream at Giddy Green

but here be orcs!

(The boundary fence of UKAEA Winfrith)

and so, Back to the Light!
