The guy on the bottle is the totally not mental Saint Brendan Kevin who started the monestary there.
He also lived in a cave above the lake for 20 years (which you can still see carved into the rock) and apparently stood still long enough to become one with nature and be able to speak to the birds that landed on him.
Hence the bottle.
They never really did kill the paganism in these parts did they?
There's also a bottle in my Japanese missus dads house.
So there you go. Hope you enjoy, and if you're over here sometime I'll buy you a short one.
Edit: Kevin not Brendan, Brendan's the one who supposedly discovered America.
Took a while to spot this thread. The word 'lockdown' has certainly taken on a new meaning since last year.
Anyway, I was thinking about this year. No idea what kind of state everyone's in after all that's happened. But presumably it would be a very nice thing to cap a dismal 12 months for most of us.
I can't really participate myself, because I've got no acces to my post box, but I'd be happy to organise it. Although I've done it before, so anyone new wants to do it, they should take precedence.
I'm well up for this year's secret Santa.
Not for organising mind, really not the best person for that with life being a mental place right now but I have been planning and creating one of my gifts for my recipient for the last month or two
Not everything is The Best or Shit. Theres many levels between that, lets just enjoy stuff.
I’m up for participating again. Just saw the picture of Wookie a page back (missed it last year), and it reminded me how much fun and how nice this is.
I’d be happy to join this year. I’d rather not set an arbitrary limit on spend but I’m not organising this year so it’s up to whoever takes it on.
So yeah, once it’s decided who’s running it, I’ll be in.
Yea I don't think we should be putting limits on anything, we're all adults and I think we all share the same opinion that this is just a nice thing to do for each other and the fact that an internet friend (I'm not using the term stranger because we've all known each other way too long for that to be appropriate) thought of us and put in the effort to send something that might make us smile is what it's all about.
Honestly if I just get a card in the post from someone who thought of me ill be over the moon and I think we all feel similar
