TREASURED: My Sailors Knot Celtic Silver Ring
I love this ring and always wear it. I bought it in 2009 in a funny little gift shop attached to the ancient ruins of Glendalough Cathedral, Ireland. The ruins are in County Wicklow, renowned for the early Medieval monastic settlement that was founded in the 6th century by St Kevin. I was on a bus tour that went from London, to various cities and towns heading north, to Edinburgh, back into England and across to Ireland, around Ireland, across to Wales and back to London. I bought the ring because there seemed to be something special about the place where the ruins were - a strong feeling of the ancients. I also needed a pick-me-up because British Airways had lost my suitcase en route from New Zealand to London (I later learned it had gone to Singapore) and when I arrived in England I only had the clothes I was wearing. I had half a day before the tour departed, to set myself up with another suitcase and a few clothes. It was a 3-week tour and I never did get my own suitcase back until we returned to London on the last day. I just love my ring but, unfortunately at the moment, I have a hand condition that means I am unable to wear it on a finger so lately I've been wearing it on a chain around my neck.
