Wat Pa Pradu

One of my favourite Buddhist temples is Wat Pa Pradu in Rayong, Thailand. The temple is known for a few things – the reclining Budhha covered in gold leaf, the tamarind tree which has special significance to the temple site, and the remains of the ancient temple displayed underneath one of the buildings, which people crouch down to see as they pass through three times. A beautiful and peaceful site and well worth visiting.

Sunday Morning Wanderings – Ilkley Moor

Ilkley Moor for this week’s Sunday morning wander. I’ve been meaning to go back here for far too long. I usually park up at the Cow and Calf, but thought I’d try somewhere new today and parked just below the White Wells Spa Cottage. Sat looking out at the view, bathing in the early morning sunshine, was a perfect, peaceful start to the day.
