I couldn't resist stopping at Ballymascanlon Village to take some photos
as I drove past it on my way to town this afternoon.
It was looking particularly well in the dabbled sunlight with the last of the summer roses and flowers adding a nice splash of colour.
I had hoped to upload some of the photos to my blog but our internet is painfully slow - even uploading this single photo took ages. It's one of the reasons why I've fallen behind with commenting lately.
