The great barred spiral spins away,
a grain of sand circles the sun,
seasons whirl while summer drowns,
then dew-drop mornings; autumn’s begun…JK ©

Summer in Ireland may have been a washout for the most part this year, but we here on plot 49 were lucky enough to be able to travel to Canada for a holiday, and as such made no postings for a while. So, here’s a pictorial record  of some of what we did while in Canada with some of the developments on the Monster in the Corner while we were away…
