Pilgrim's Progress...

On Saturday of the Solstice weekend, Siobhan and I headed over to the village of Dromahair to meet Marian at the Demon Festival.  Dromahair actually means: The ridge of two air demons.  It's great craic. 

 If you look at this little video you can see the River Bonet.  Marian took us for an enchanting walk over the bridge and through the trees that line the river and on to the "Abbey".  It's actually the ruin of a Franciscan Priory and is also the village burial grouds.  

Just as the woods came to a clearing, we passed this wee cottage and in the window??? A sign that says: "Herbalists Apothacary"!   And, well, what else could a place like this possibly be?   There was also a notice for an herbal course to take place in this very spot for the first three Sundays in July!   Siobhan and Marian urged me to write down the phone number.   

And just past the cottage is the approach to the priory....

In the photo below, if you look carefully to the right of the window, a Mullein has seeded herself ...

"Well, what are you waiting for?"  I'm here, You're here.  It's time."
