a cartoon that made me smile
This CartoonChurch.com cartoon by Dave Walker originally appeared in the Church Times. Go to his site by clicking on the picture. It reminded me of some of the roped off areas at Canterbury Cathedral…

camera angles
While visiting Canterbury Cathedral earlier in the week I was interested to see that the crypt is an area in which taking photos is prohibited.

an ickle bloggage to break you back in
Well, we’re back. We had a lovely couple of days in which we marked off another year on my calendar and celebrated that I am one year closer to retirement (although they keep moving the goalposts for that!). We went to Canterbury and I went into the Cathedral for the first time ever. It is…
