Abbey

Sadness has reigned in 2010 and in particular over the last couple of weeks. A very dear friend in the village, who was giving me advice and guidance and help with my business plan for the photography business I wish to start, suddenly died. On Monday I went to his funeral (this is the fourth this year) which was held at Mount St Bernard Abbey. It was an odd affair, having never been inside the Abbey before, nor met the Monks. But it was a fine send off and some beautiful words from his family.

He was always supportive of my efforts; proud that I had swallowed my pride and gone back to college; and usually made me laugh.

His favourite image of mine was this one:


Goodnight and God Bless to you John.
