I had a great visit with my mum in England.
The day of my arrival saw the tail end of Hurricane Ophelia,
Which created a lovely background for sheep silhouettes.
The next day was warm and misty.
On our walk, we saw a strange, n-ewe species:
The two-headed sheep!
(Sorry about the baa-d pun.)
Our destination was this old, Saxon church
Dating back to the late 11th century.
My father is buried in this beautiful (and slightly isolated) location.
I’m busy this week with work so will only be posting once.
For more postcards, please go to: Our World.
And check out: Skywatch.

What a great place for a cemetery… Your father is definitely buried in a peaceful place.

Interesting to note that the alphabetical names of disastrous hurricanes in the Caribbean and USA mainland (namely Irma, Maria, Nate) continued across the Atlantic – Ophelia. We hope this is THE END of the 2017 storm season. You make the best of the end-of-storm sky with your camera. I’m so glad your visit with mum was congenial. Now back to work – for both of us.

The colour of the sky was weird when Ophelia hit the UK … we were amazed to see it and it did cause quite a stir.
