Beyond The Garden,..glengarry23.

Very Frosty at night and during the day,..the sound of crunching grass at midday.



No frost in the woods.






Calm.



We call these 'Willow Pussy Foot'



I was in a bad spot to see the sunset.

Six months of flood water has started to make a person confined.

 

….And the continuous grey skies do nothing to lift the mood either.

 

You can send some here Phil. We had some much needed torrential downpours this week but they were brief and now we are back to clear skies. We have been in dire straits for over two years and desperately need more before our summer. of five more or more months of no rain whatsoever.

 

@Sheal,..and @Victoria,..at last the weather has changed,..rain has eased off and the river level has lowered slightly,..however there was persistent snow in the next County though none here,..Victoria i wish i could direct some of our rain in your direction,..wishes do come true,..Sheal the mood here has lifted as i had a break from home,..anywhere there was no water suited.

 

Foxy Molly is a rescued dog,..her previous owner had Asthma so Foxy Molly had to remain outdoors,..her owner felt she was not getting enough attention and put her up for re Homing. Foxy Molly was also attacked by a bigger dog and was badly mauled,..i took her on board and after several months she recovered and loves her new surroundings.

She gorgeous Phil, you both very fortunate to have each other in your lives.

 

Ah, bless. She really landed on her feet with you Philip. Best friends forever.

 

That would be desert country then. I hope you enjoyed your break.

Foxy has found a good and happy home with you despite her previous woes. I wish you many years of fun together.

 

@Upsydaisy ,..@Victoria,..@Sheal,

Thank you,..yes we were both lucky to come across each other,..she is very affectionate and doesn't bark unless she spots someone looking over the wall at the end of my garden,..in fact she never puts a foot wrong.

@Sheal,..lol at Desert Country,..it was Dublin City in fact,..though after just two days what did i miss?,..the water,..so i headed by train to one of my favourite watering holes,..'Howth Harbour'.

Howth Harbour,..Music By John Serrie 'Remembrance' ,..4.30secs long.

 

It's many moons since I was in Dublin's fair city.

 

@Sheal ,..it has changed quite a lot,..Trams on rails going from the Railway Stations throughout the City,..Rented Bicycles here and there for who ever wants one,..Tourist Boats on the River Liffey,..it so happens i have a video lol,..one i made earlier.

Just over 7 mins.

 

Thankyou, I enjoyed the video. It must be twenty years since I was there and although it's changed, I think even with the trams, it's all been done sympathetically. Lovely to see the sculptures that actually depict it's history and not modern art that leaves us wondering what it's supposed to define.

There are some modern, nightmare ideas being planned for around the River Ness here in Inverness that will completely ruin it's natural look. The general public hate the ideas but councillors aren't listening - as per usual!

 

I've never been to Dublin so thanks for the tour, it looks a beautiful place .
