Sunday in Stirling Scotland

After 13,000 + steps today I only have the energy to add one postcard from a full and wonderful day. Breakfast at the Ivy again in Glasgow and then we checked out and got an Uber to Stirling. We walked to Holy Rude Church, the cemetery, and up to the Castle. Then we walked to a bus stop to catch the bus to the Wallace Monument. Taxi back to our B&B and then we walked to dinner at Brea. Now feet up and ready to crash.

Looking to the Wallace Monument from Stirling Castle. We had a lovely mix of clouds, rain, wild winds, and sunshine today!

On this day we are heading into the Lower Highlands.

Ring Out the Old, Ring in the New

Ring Out the Old, Ring in the New
~Alfred Tennyson 1850

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow;
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.

Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.

Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.

Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife,
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweet manners, purer laws.

Ring out old shapes of foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.

Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

I’m chiming in early to wish you all a Very Happy New Year filled with all good things from above! See y’all on Friday!

Ruby Tuesday ~ Thanksgiving Postcards

 

 

These postcards are all from the early 1900’s. They were all sent to Dear’s Great, great Aunt Emma. She really enjoyed getting postcards and her friends and family made sure to send her one on any special occassion.

Photobucket is holding all my photos from 2007-2015 hostage and demanding a ransom for me to access them. I’m slowly cleaning up many of my posts where PB have added ugly black and grey boxes where my photos used to be. So frustrating!
