Hmm, I'm not sure the artist has seen, heard or read Waiting for Godot.

Fermanagh is the anglicised rendering of the original Irish Fear Manach, which means "no public transport, ever"

I’m on Devenish Island, in Lower Lough Erne, Co. #Fermanagh for #TombTuesday this week.
These are some of the graves you can see on the monastic site. The cross marker is found in the graveyard bedside the ruins of the priory, and the stone tomb - which is known as “St. Molaise's bed” - can be found inside the remains of the church below the round tower.
I’m revisiting #Fermanagh for #StandingStoneSunday this week. This is Drumskinny, with its stone circle, aligned stone row, and adjoining cairn.
The stones may be short (it’s fairly boggy up there, so decent-sized stones may have been hard to come by), but the site is a nice one to visit, and there are some great views to be had from it. It can be muddy getting there, and one visit we had to dodge cows.

For #StandingStoneSunday I’ve travelled to #Fermanagh. This is the larger carved stone figure found in Caldragh Churchyard on Boa Island.
When I first read about the figure, it was described as a Janus figure, but it’s not Roman, it’s Celtic.
It’s thought to have a male side and a female side, and while you can’t make out the differences clearly from my photos, there are some great photos here on the Irish Megaliths site: http://www.irishmegaliths.org.uk/zCaldragh.htm
