 I had to get paul to start a new blogger for me today.so im still doing pigeons .This week dave in my class told me that there is a pigeon building in adare, at the back of the herriage centre,so i drove out with my camera.it is a lovely 14th centuary outhouse which is part of st Trintianans Abbey.The outhouse is called the dove cot or pigeon house,the monks used the pigeons as food.There is plaque inside with the history on it,there is a gate into it but it was locked,so i took some pictures threw the bars of the gate and pictures of the outside.so i drew a few pictures and i have a few wire pigeons made.
