church bells ringing out
birds atop the hawthorn tree
await the sermon



Birds are a great inspiration to me.  My paternal grandmother was called Adalina Stork and my maternal grandmother was Isabella Dove.... my mother is Jemima (puddleduck?) - could this be the reason? :O)

  2. Oh dear, I'm afraid the photographs were 'pinched' from the internet.... but yes, they are beautiful. The church is Saint Stephens, our local Anglican church.
