Ahagouna

Cold and grey today and Himself has put his back out so is frustrated but having to take it easy. The article continues but it must be nearly done.

Lots of interest in the Kilnaruane stone and I've been trying to find somewhere that has a drawing of the carvings for they really are very intricate and unique,  but have had no success. There is one article but I can't copy to it.

Today's pic - a view from the churchyard of St James Church towards the old bridge. Before the coastal road was built in the 1840s this was the main road down the peninsula, the little bridge being built around 1700. Behind it are signs of how people crossed the river before that - some stepping stones. The townland is called is  Ahagouna - Áth Gamhna -ford of the calves.  The blue building behind is the old national school where I first  taught when I came here. Built in 1937 it's now in a sad state of decrepitude, left to its own devices when the new school was built next door. The new school was warm and cosy and spacious but I have a soft spot for the old damp school with its tall ceilings, fireplaces and dadoes! 
A bit of man made  for todays Wide Wednesday Challenge, thanks Bobsblips. 

And does anyone else do Wordle? Outcry this morning over an American spelling!!
