Thanks to new followers and to those who’ve been following for a while. Gradually topping up my photos of carved gravestones, countryside etc - but not much #stainedglass this year, as few churches around here are open.

For over 50 years, the British comedy sketch 'Dinner for One' has been an integral part of New Year's Eve in Germany.
The sketch (that is largely unknown in the UK) remains so popular that it will be shown at least twenty times on TV today in the run-up to midnight.
Happy New Year & Guten Rutsch!

Worth 5 minutes of anyone's time to read about Ronnie. Consider having a tissue handy in case something should happen to get in your eye 🥹

This Gothic landmark was built by Glasgow architect David Thomson and opened in 1874. It was, until earlier this year, known as Dalziel St Andrew's Parish Church.
