Sacred wells and more foliate folk.

Alas, I had determined only to travel with my walkabout lens this weekend, and St Winefride's Well at Holywell, North Wales really deserved the ultra wide. Ah well. 

A very gentle place, with a goodly amount of historic information in the adjacent museum. No bathing today, which was probably as well, as it was not warm, but there was a small hand pump from which you could obtain a cup of water to drink or take away. Chiselled names and dates reflected the number of folk who had found benefit in doing similarly.

Then to the second smallest city in Wales, nearly the same size as my home village! St Asaph cathedral offered both the foliate lion (?) pew ends and also a plinth with engraved chase scene with greyhound and hare, potentially from the tale of Cerridwen and Gwen Bach, leading to the birth of the Druid poet Taliesin.

And now home again, blipped in time for today not to be a back blip... and Zzzz...
