Jedburgh Abbey

We left the Hadrian's Wall and continued with our journey to Jedburgh.

Here's Jedburgh.


Jedburgh Abbey was founded by David I in around 1138 for Augustinian canons.






The church was built in the Romanesque and early Gothic styles and is remarkably complete. Jedburgh Abbey’s close location to the English border meant it was frequently targeted by invading border armies.

We got to travel to Edinburgh which would be a more interesting place..

    The buildings there have almost the same colour texture... bricks and stones... when I was in Aberdeen, the buildings are all greyish in colour... Edinburgh is slightly different... more happening there...

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
