It's Monday, you're bored at the monastery, you doodle a silly lil' guy on your very important manuscripts. We've all been there.
Why not throw one of your fellow monks under the cart for it instead of taking the heat from the Abbot yourself?

Apologies for being absent, folks! Had the honour and pleasure of being invited to the wedding of one of my partner's oldest friends near Nice.
A couple all dressed up standing upon a terrace over looking the ocean. One is in a light purple suit and the other a long pink gown. A stunning ocean and cliffside vista. Matcha dot the ocean bay far in the distance. A terraced villa of stonework. Greenery traces the stones and trees throw shade upon the slabs from above. A stubby gecko on a paving slab.

Had a wee adventure to Hebden Bridge the other week and trying to get better at posting memories so here ya go! Super cute and really beautiful - totally not been daydreaming browsing Zoopla since 👀
Also: FROG!
Photo of the Hebden bridge train station sign. The station is old and made of stonework with half-barrel planter nearby. Photo of a craggy forest path, taken from the top looking downwards as it descends. Dense foliage grows either side of rocky path - ferns, moss and heather with trees growing thickly above. Beautiful stone stairs, descending up between narrow, mossy stone walls. Ferns grow between the stones and trees grow overhead. A tiny brown frog hiding amongst the undergrowth and moss.

Use your silver tongue to talk your way out of an almighty medieval telling off and make sure one of the other monks takes the fall!
