I was uploading some photos today to finish up some blogging and realized I was woefully behind.
Suzanne came over for a visit last October and while here we had dinner with our good friends Allan and Vera. Allan is a local farmer (dairy -- for cheese) and Vera owns a local pharmacy. En route to dinner Vera insisted on showing us an old church and graveyard because she knew Suzanne's interest in fox hunting.
This is a stone that reads:

Of course what makes the stone special is that on the left is the head of a fox and on the right is the head of a hound. Below the scroll is a horn crossed with a whip. At the top is Tommy's face encircled by a horseshoe.
Here's a shot for scale…
While there I also took some pictures of stones and lichen. The sky was overcast so the lighting was near perfect. I have no idea what some of these plants are, but they were pretty.
We also went for a short walk up to Hardknott Castle -- the Roman ruins of a fort from about 300 AD. It was a beautiful day.
Until next time…
