Whilst church crawling today thoroughly enjoyed finding this very venerable looking chest with a Christmas tree shoved inside it for handy storage.

I’m getting slightly obsessed with this red rusted tree. I assume the red is from a lichen or fungi but if anyone knows exactly what it is as I’m curious to know…

These are my photos from Sept 24, the circle was very pronounced when I visited but there were lots of other timbers about that looked similar? That beach can look so different and the sands move so much over time as well, I haven’t looked for it again. Very exciting the idea there could be more!

Incredibly atmospheric stained glass recalling the Manchester Blitz, in Manchester Cathedral. #windowsonwednesday

I think I have taken my nine year old to see too many dooms and medieval wall paintings as she drew this 😅 (speech bubble ‘whuuu’ artists own)

Reading Alan Garner’s Wikipedia page, I can’t help hoping he gives numerous interviews to professional magazines and claims they’re all his best friends. ‘Writers? No! All my best friends are dentists’

To set the scene, a photo of The Abbey Church of St Mary and St Helena, to give its full title.

Love a medieval church carving and this dude from Sutton church in Bedfordshire is a favourite. Fabulous hair.
