The new and the old

7th March 2022 5/?

Hola and Hello to all you awesome beautiful readers and authors of read.

Welcome to the new week did you have a great and relaxing weekend?

I have not done this for a while, but Monday means #monochromemonday so today in this post I am going to drop some black and white picture of somewhere that is close to my heart.

Today we are travelling to Dunfermline in the Kingdom of Fife in Scotland.
More precisely to the site of Dunfermline Abbey. Over the ages this has been an incredibly important site in the history of Scotland as a nation.

The new and the old, and this is my picture that shows the newer Dunfermline Abbey on the right. On the left of this picture is the ruins of the old Dunfermline Abbey.

The old Abbey is one of the oldest settlements in Scotland. Believe it or not, but Dunfermline used to be the capital of Scotland, long before Edinburgh became the capital.

At one time the Abbey was the burial site of the Scottish monarchs.

The Abbey and the ruins around it are all that remain of a Benedictine Abbey which was founded by Queen Margaret in the eleventh century.

Can you imagine that, the ruins are almost one thousand years old. Imagine the buildings that are made today, will they last 1000 years? I doubt they could even last 100 years let alone 1000 years.

Older buildings and architecture is something that I find fascinating and it is something that I am in awe of. Imagine the people trying and succeeding at building this, without the modern tools that we have today.

This last picture is of the 'newer' Abbey. It is here that King Robert the Bruce is buried. He is one of the most famous kings and you may have heard about his story of the spider?

If you look closely in this picture you can see that the tower of the church bears the words !'King Robert'. The 'the Bruce are on the other two sides that can't be seen in this picture. The words are in carved stone and do look pretty striking.

I have a personal connection to this Abbey and I might tell you about the Abbey in a more detailed post about the Abbey, in the meantime, can you guess why the Abbey is close to my heart?

I had some good news over the week, after quite some time in the Discord served of the Chad's Racing guild of Pegaxy I got given two Paxagies to race. So far I have had some mixed fortunes between the two horses or should I say the two Pegaxies. Bluesbae seems to be better than EASportSpice. Anyway, I feel that I will write about that in a post for tomorrow.

What have you been doing with smartBCH investments? I am just holding what I have. I do like Law and wish the other projects would have been as professional as they have been. Seems all those NFTs really are a pile of 💩 , that is my personal opinion anyway.

Cosmos system is still going from strength to strength, so not all crypto is red. It also seems that their Twitter giveaways are much more plentiful and rewarding too, I did receive 1 Juno as a giveaway prize today.

Have a good one and thanks for reading.

Thank you for stopping by and have a magical week.
