The gable stone of the original entrace to the Begijnhof in Amsterdam. It shows St. Ursula, the patron saint of beguines, who is shielding the women from the troubles of the world.
Beguines were women living in small closed communities (beguinages) under self-imposed strict rules, in particular chastity, but without taking monastic vows. Popular in the middle ages, the beguine movement has generally declined a long time ago, but some communities persisted well into the XXth century. In Amsterdam, the last beguine died in early 1970ies. Today, houses in the Begijnhof are private dwellings, but still restricted to single women.

The next day I made another early start, this time with a good forecast. A full moon made going easy, although my head torch helped. The walk up Grains Gill was ok, but once out in the open near Esk Hause, it got rather chilly .

So far this January I haven't managed to get out on the hills. To make up for this here's a shot from last year that captures Terry taking in the view down Wasdale. We had just emerged from the cloud during our descent of Graet Gable.
Talking of fells with immense character, just how utterly compelling is Great Gable?
I'd earlier traversed this stately 'dome' & had been 'entertained' by a pretty nerve-wracking descent off this face on iced-up rocks; an 'adventure' I hadn't factored in for the day.
This was taken from the moonscape plateau topping Kirk Fell, where I lay down on my little mattress to rest my aching back - & awoke two hours later! And it only felt like five minutes. Weird, that.
P.S. Do I spot that pesky twosome, Harrison Stickle & Pike o' Stickle, vying for attention yet again?!
