Thoughtful Sunday - A post for Heather

I am not overly religious but when I wander around cemeteries I love some of the old gravestones - which I must post another day - and some of the marvellous sculptures.

This one of Jesus reminded me of a certain girl in Vermont, one of those bloglong friends to whom he is a great and constant companion.

And, of course, she is an angel! (She must be to run a household of four 'men' - three little and one big.)

I wish I share your enthusiasm regarding graveyard sculptures, but it just freaks me out. Maybe it has something to do with horror movies. XD

You are such a sweetheart :) I'd love to be at the foot of these. They remind me of the one that I captured a few years back, in the cemetery of the town I grew up in.

I am not religious at all, but I do love cemeteries, the older the better. And we have one in my town that has an atmosphere that makes me want to spend hours and hours there. Maybe a good idea to do a blog post about it some day. Or have I done that already?

I am always fascinated by sculpture because it is amazing how well some pieces depict human beings in stone.

I've told Laughing Boy that I want the Brahms Requiem, (Berlin Phil. of course) and a socking great marble statue, with weeping angels tearing their clothes positioned around the base, and a few on top blowing those big long bugles to announce my arrival at the pearly gates.

Nothing too flash.

The Cast

This is my main blog insofar as it is the one I try to ensure has at least one entry per day - and usually two. It is also the one which has my Friday My Town Shoot-out on it.

My home is in Pensby on The Wirral in Cheshire, England but at the moment I am on holiday in the Outer Hebrides, staying at my brother's near Stornoway. (Somewhere I have a little map that says I am here and points to Stornoway but I can't find it and am too lazy to make another one). This is the cast of characters who appear regularly:-

Me - sometimes known as CJ or John and otherwise known as Scriptor Senex; Jo (alias Partner-who-loves-tea and also known as Partner-who-hates-being-photographed); Bryony (Food-loving-Daughter); Bryony's husband Mark (Son-in-law-who-cooks); Helen (Daughter-who-takes-photos); Helen's husband Ian (a.k.a. Son-in-law-and-Friend-who-loves-Otters); Richard (Son-who-watches-films);
