There is such a thing as too much forground interest.

Too much is an understatement.

You've spelt bullocks wrong.

Now now Ray, what did you learn in those informative days?
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
Ah that's right, you did say you'd skip vital parts unless the vicar's wife collared you

Fantastic photo though, keep it up.

All Saints Church in the historic Galle Fort, Sri Lanka. The church itself will apparently reach 150 years of existence next year.

St Barnabas Anglican Church ~ Sheffield
The church’s foundation stone was laid on Sunday 15 February 1891.
Around 1978 converted to house
Wife and I were married there.
In early (my) days when attending church, us little tackers would get a bit restless and fidgety and play with the pennies for the collection. They'd make a heck of a din dropping to the floor and rolling along the boards only to make that characteristic wobble and final clonk as it crashed to the boards.
That was a sign to the vicar it was 'now time to take the collection, can we have hymn number .... please'

I used to toll the bell for Sunday service until it was decided they couldn't teach me to actually ring the blessed thing as I wasn't announcing a funeral. (some days it felt like that to this energetic youngster off the farm)
Dad had a nice Humber he'd bought out from Nottingham and one day he loaned it to the vicar only for him to roll it on a bend going to another church in the district.

That church carries many memories from the distant past.
It shaped a lot of our lives and for the past 12 months I was involved in reshaping the intersection.
Oh - the photos
