Frequent readers will remember I blogged about our family trip to the holy island of Caldey last year.
This year they face a different battle with the authorities, namely a missile base planning on firing missiles after dark for practice purposes, as reported here .
The peace and tranquility on the island has to be experienced to be believed, and considering the monks are up at night for periods of prayer, and go to bed early, they will definitely be affected by night-time firing from a mile away............as will all the surrounding areas.
We visited Manorbier castle, and one of the very low flying training jets went past us, and I have to say it frightened the living daylights out of me..................

I can understand the annoyance the military will be causing these monks.
Almost right outside my lounge window there are two building projects. One project is the construction of condominiums, the other is an addition of some sort to a house. The noise of the lorrys, and machinery really get on my nerves. The construction starts about eight in the morning and goes until about that time of an evening. I am glad that at least I don't have to deal with this on Sundays. So much for my quiet Spring!
