Bangor West Patchwork Challenge. Monday, 19 December 2016. This is the last photo of him at the CS Lewis Square in East Belfast looking at the stone table sculpture. We are left with pictures and memories which will help to ease the hurt, as will nature and the great outdoors, plus, " A wee Maudes and I could force down a latte!

http://bangorwestndcp.blogspot.com/2016_02_01_archive.html
Bangor West Patchwork Challenge. Monday, 29 February 2016. Great to be back in the North East for another yomp round some excellent bird spots. We started with a visit to Newbiggin for a walk with the family and were rewarded with Mediterranean g. Ull and an Oystercatcher. With a sense of dignity as it posed on a tombstone in the church. All the following photos were taken by my friend and birding mate David who was experimenting with his new camera - a Christmas present from his wife. We moved to the Ca...

The garden produced all that I expected including long-tailed tit and blackcap. West Bangor patch list: 19. 4 January 2017 at 00:05. North Down Coastal Path. 2016 ...

http://surprisedbytime.blogspot.com/2015/05/two-for-cyriaco.html
A little wine for remembrance . . . a little water for the dust. Two documents for Cyriaco of Ancona, one new, one ignored, that contribute to his portrait. He was 63 and had been going to Venice since he was 10. This document is available on-line at. ASV Senato Privilegi 1425-October 1560. Francesco Filelfo to Cyriaco, greetings,.

http://bangorwestndcp.blogspot.com/2016_11_01_archive.html
Bangor West Patchwork Challenge. Thursday, 24 November 2016. With a title like that I should get lots of hits from people looking for a cartoon character, but NO, this is WOW frozen for the first time since I started volunteering there in June 2015.

Teal flock on the only bit of open water. The goldfinch "charm" totalled 30. 2016 list is ...

Bangor West Patchwork Challenge. Sunday, 23 October 2016. The magic of Islay. Saturday saw me on Islay for the second time. Two years ago I visited in September and went to the Oa reserve. This time the plan was to go to Lough Gruinart to see the geese flock. The sight and sound of 30000 barnacle geese. Then a bus up to Loch Gruinart RSPB reserve which takes about 25 minutes. There are barnacle geese. Missed the other 37980. There's some of them. A few more and their Canadian friends. Clearly these are d...
