Gwennyn 2

Another picture from the concert at Paimpont Abbey that featured in my two posts yesterday... view on black if you can.

A word of explanation: you may have noticed that my posting and, especially, my commenting have been rather sporadic over the last 9 days. Here is the reason: on the overnight ferry to the UK, I fell in the middle of the night while trying to get down from the top bunk in the dark. I caught my foot on the top of the ladder and fell forward smashing my face against the bottom of the ladder. I suffered a gash on my left cheek down to the bone; bit through my bottom lip and badly twisted my leg. I bled copiously due to the fact that I take a strong anti-coagulant which makes me into an artificial haemophiliac - Mrs S said that the next morning the cabin looked like an abattoir, which indeed it did. I suffered moderate concussion from which I am still feeling the after-effects - normal service will be resumed as soon as possible... I hope!
ai-ai-aieee! Glad you are on the mend, but that had to be horrifying for both of you. And I just looked up "abattoir"....and for some reason I can't stop laughing...not what I expected. I am sure Mrs. S is an excellent nurse.

Oh my, Richard! So sorry to hear about your fall and injuries. I hope you are well soon!
Love this photo (as well as the color one from yesterday). Great clarity of the singer with nice inclusion of members of her band.

woah sorry to hear that, you should know the top bunks are for the little kids!

Oh my goodness, Richard Sayer...that sounds like a terrible accident. I hope that you heal swiftly. Mrs. S must have been very upset with your injuries. This is a terrific shot with super lighting and details. Take care.

Great shot really works well in B&W . Hope you're feeling better soon sounds like a nasty accident.

Lovely black and white shot - sorry to hear about your accident and hope that you recover soon.

Best wishes for speedy recovery. Be patient, as concussions can take a while to heal.
December 31st, 2017  
My goodness! I hope your recovery will be speedy, but until then by all means take it easy.
December 31st, 2017  
Jeeze, Richard. Hope you heal up quickly!
December 31st, 2017  
A beautiful image. I truly hope that you heal very soon. May the battle scar from the top bunk fade fast.
December 31st, 2017  
oh no, that must have been awful, let alone the mess - heal fast my friend and be careful!!!

Wonderful shot.

Some floor show! The number of times R has survived such events is legion. I think he's on God's Keep Safe List. On leaving the scene, we sought out the cabin cleaning staff to forewarn them of what could have been otherwise interpreted as carnage.

Whilst neither of us panic, we go into sangfroid mode and deal with the situation. We’ve had plenty of practice! In summary, he's better, much better than he was. Yet as some of you mentioned, the concussion takes longer to resolve itself...and rightly so.

OMG Richard I really missed your usual England shots and just figured you were busy visiting. Please take care because visiting your prject is a must for me.

I wish you a speedy recovery, and a Happy New Year too. I suspect that a future of bottom bunking awaits. I like this photo.

A nice shot of these musicians. I do hope Mrs. S. is observing you carefully as well as you yourself. Be easy on yourself and be careful. Hope you feel better soon.

oh dear richard - so sorry to read this. glad to see from mrs s that you are recovering gradually. from my experience with sons with concussions, they need time to get over ... i do hope you'll continue with your project, in whatever form works for you ... i would miss your wonderful b&w images of france if not

Oh dear, Richard.. so sorry. Your injuries sound a bit nasty... may take a while to heal I think, so take it easy and and don't push yourself too much in your eagerness to resume normality
January 1st, 2018  
Oh my, reading only now, so sorry for the accident! My best wishes for a fast healing, besides those for a happy new year, Richard. You and Margo are a reference point here. Take care: all my sincere, friendly thoughts for you!

Oh my word you really did have a nasty fall. Hope you are healed soon. Sometimes the shock of these things can be the worst thing. Best wishes.
