180/365:2010 The Hermitage
Tollymore Forest Park. This was where we got engaged just over four years ago!

179/365:2010 The Slieve Donard
A little short break during a week off from the parish, and this was our destination. The spa facilities are fantastic, and the view of where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea is just brilliant. A reminder of our wedding reception just under two years ago, we just keep coming back to the premier hotel in Northern Ireland!

178/365:2010 Farewell Fabio
Spent this afternoon watching the England team crash out of the World Cup. Photo taken using the hipstamatic app on the iPhone.

177/365:2010 Karting
Jonathan's stag do in advance of his wedding on Friday. A great night of karting, although I ended up in 7th or 8th out of 10...

176/365:2010 Unleash the Prayers!
Published the new version of our church Prayer Diary this afternoon, so they're all set ready to be distributed on Sunday to help people pray through a verse, a situation, and some church members each day through the summer.

175/365:2010 Lavender Spittle
The foamy stuff has appeared on our lavender and rose plants in the front garden. What's that all about?

172/365:2010 The Longest Day
Down at the shipyards as the longest day of sunlight in the year is coming to a close. Titanic Quarter is being transformed as we speak - and so much has happened already!

171/365:2010 Web Designer
Out in the back garden and this spider was busy building a web in the bushes.

170/365:2010 Drum Shades
Pipe band championships in Bangor, County Down today. This was Cullybackey Pipe Band getting ready for the Grade 1 competition, and a nice reflection of the drummers in this guy's shades.

169/365:2010 The Burning Bush
Tonight I went over to the other side - of Church Green, to the Presbyterian Church for the Installation of their new minister, William. Turned out I went to school with his brother-in-law so we got a good catch up and wondered where the 13 years had gone since we left Dromore High!

168/365:2010 St Anne's
Photo taken straight from the camera after another little late evening expedition to get a 365 shot. I'm getting back into the swing of the big camera, and now realising that I was foolish to not be using it for more of my 365 shots... To see another couple of photos from tonight, including (IMHO) a clever shot, click on this photo and go back through my Flickr photostream.

167/365:2010 Queens
A quick night time photo taking expedition. My old alma mater. Also, the first 365 photo to be taken on the Canon 500D in over a month... I've gotten too used to a quick snap on the iPhone, so must use the big camera more!

165/365:2010 Flowers
A day spent at the 'wake' - Granny Wilky loved flowers, and these were just some of the multitude she had growing in her garden.

162/365:2010 World Cup Launch
But Pippa is more interested in playing with her own pink and green ball!

161/365:2010 Blinded
Blinds are great - if we didn't have them it would be curtains for us all!
How do you make a Venetian blind? Poke him in the eyes!

160/365:2010 Morning Prayer
This morning we had the traditional Morning Prayer service. A little photo of the big window.

159/365:2010 Dromore Mound
Historically speaking, this is the best preserved example in Ireland of a Norman Motte and Bailey fort, located in Dromore, County Down. The photo isn't the most impressive though!

158/365:2010 Puppy Cushion
I think that's what I've turned into, the amount of time Pippa spends lying on my knee...

157/365:2010 Steering Wheel
A bit of a disappointment of a photo, really - today I was preaching away, at Upper Falls (which is really very upper Falls, as it's actually the Parish Church in Suffolk), but it was raining when I was coming out so didn't get a photo. In the end, I did a bit of driving, so I suppose the photo represents my day! Maybe I'll be back at Upper Falls some other time to get a photo...

156/365:2010 It's a Dog's Life!
Lying sleeping on my knee, so I sneaked a shot. Over the two weeks we've had her so far, she has grown so much (although still a tiny dog) and we've gotten to be very attached!

155/365:2010 Build Me Up Buttercup
The bluebells in the garden have been replaced by the buttercups!

154/365:2010 Dromore Cathedral
This weekend they're celebrating 1500 years of Christian witness on this site in Dromore, County Down. This is the current building on the site, the Cathedral Church of Christ the Redeemer.

152/365:2010 Daisy, Daisy
Some rain this morning but it made for raindrops on the huge daisies down in the garden.

151/365:2010 John Deere
Not a sight you expect to see in a quiet avenue in East Belfast. A tractor parked up at our neighbour's house!
In other news, I took a wee run into town this evening to get a fancy burger from the Continental Market before it leaves Belfast, but the burger stall had stopped serving by 5.20pm even though the Market is open until 8pm! Very disappointing!

150/365:2010 Dashing Dog
Home from church and Youth Group, and I'm greeted by Pippa the puppy going a bit mental. Her head and tail are both blurred because she's moving so very quickly!

146/365:2010 Coppers
A bedtime picture. Every night I have to clear the coppers out of my pocket. Quite a collection and they soon add up. I liked the shine of some as the light hit them.

145/365:2010 Taking Down A Peg Or Two
Inadvertently, this seems to be proverbs week, after Sunday's effort too.
I much prefer taking things off the line than hanging them on the line. There's maybe less effort, or perhaps it's more satisfying to clear a line of washing than to fill it?

144/365:2010 Testing, Testing
MOT today and the car passed! Hurray! A week of holiday began today so there's lots of wee things to get sorted this week, as well as getting to know Pippa!

143/365:2010 Let Sleeping Dogs Lie!
Pippa taking a well deserved rest after lots of excitement. Let's hope she sleeps tonight better than last night!
Oh, also, don't worry, this isn't going to turn into a 365 dog set - Pippa may appear from time to time but won't feature every day.

This yellow rose is just beginning to open up. Another day spent in the house recovering...

139/365:2010 Behind Bars
Looks like the Queen has been imprisoned, but to be frank, it's just how the Royal Mail stamp their authority over her.

138/365:2010 A Wet Evening
This is possibly my worst 365 photo to date - it didn't work at all, but it was the only photo taken on the say so it'll have to do. I think I was aiming for the silhouette of the church tower and Cleland mausoleum, but it doesn't stand out properly. Didn't take any more as it was raining so I wanted together home having popped out for milk!

137/365:2010 Empty!
These lasted almost three weeks - a birthday present, but all gone now, the chocolates which were housed in these little compartments!
Sunday, 16 May 2010
136/365:2010 Preached!
Sunday again, and tonight I was preaching from Genesis 29 on Jacob finding a wife and getting two.

135/365:2010 Getaway!
Ladybird trying to escape from my camera... Spent some time out in the jungle cutting the grass.

134/365:2010 Wedding Shadowing
Today was the first wedding in St E's since our arrival two years ago, so I was shadowing Tim to see how he leads it, given that we have five next year! Congratulations to Philip and Joanne on their special day!

133/365:2010 A Couple of Carsons
Took another pre-lunch walk in Stormont estate, just up and down the hill, but stupidly forgot my earphones! I don't do enough exercise, so these walks are useful, and also a good opportunity to listen to sermons or music on my iPod. Not today!
At the top, I was looking at the new interpretive signs and spotted this angle for two views of Sir Edward Carson for the price of one!

132/365:2010 Yellow Flowers, Yellow Cranes
The Harland and Wolff cranes in Belfast are a famous part of the skyline in the Titanic Quarter of the city. The whole area is now being redeveloped.
