The stance is a bit odd in both but anyway, the first location speaks for itself and the second is the old 'pest house'...apparently one of only five left in the country... pest is the old English word for plague (no prizes for guessing from which language it stems.... French and Latin before that!)... so it was used to house and separate people with the plague or other infectious diseases from the local community.... for fourty days (again as in France and hence the word 'quarantaine'........ interesting, non ?!!!!!!)
Apart from the arms, this pose strikes me as similar to the statue in Brussels of the little boy peeing (Manneken Pis)! For the record, I wasn't!
On the medical front, we returned to the Marsden yesterday for my first check-up..... everything's A-OK seemingly and they don't need me back again for two and a half weeks.... good news.... So now I can concentrate on putting a few kilos back on......!
Bye for now and....... especially to Louise, Happy Belated Birthday!!!! Hope it was a goodun!!!
