I don't know if there is a web site to that one, might be worth a search.<BR/>The kneelers always amaze me, the work that goes into them is incredible. Have you seen the Bayeaux tapestry?

The door latch was stunning, I also appreciate its beauty.<BR/><BR/>I would find it hard to ever be inside with all the pretty countryside you have to cycle across.

I agree about the church door - definitely one for the inspiration board.<BR/>Lucy:<BR/>Do you need to get help for the cake compulsion?<BR/>Chief:<BR/>Hullo you!

(I hope the nursing staff read it - we all must remember and respect the depth and variety of life's experience in the aged - as the poem says, see "them", not just an old individual.)Avushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512540148378201058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31082363.post-36715107267661281112008-04-25T16:19:00.000+01:002008-04-25T16:19:00.000+01:00Is this the same church you took your lovely bicyc...Is this the same church you took your lovely bicycle to for only just coffee a while back? What a lovely place you live in. I read this last week maybe, but you sent me off so many places I never got back to comment. Thanks for all the trips. My mother-in-law is now confined to bed and under Hospic care in a nursing home, and we have care of her dog, and I printed off the Crabit poem for her notebook.Vitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648727808256233855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31082363.post-53867466873857999592008-04-21T22:37:00.000+01:002008-04-21T22:37:00.000+01:00One good turn deserves another.

The quiet company must have made it even better.<BR/>St Rumwold's church reminds me of St Boniface church whiich is quite near here. It too is very old and is in beautiful surroundings and is just a hop and skip away from the beach. There may be a web site about it, if there is I will lt you know. The grave stones that can be read also make facsinating reading.boninookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546838048364127374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31082363.post-7861326348219305862008-04-20T09:24:00.000+01:002008-04-20T09:24:00.000+01:00Ah yes!!!
