Rivers and Trees

 A long walk this morning along the riverbanks around the village.

Catching up a day

Missed putting up a post yesterday, so these images are catching up that day. Todays image will be up later.

St Marys on the edge of the marshes

 Great light out this afternoon.

Higham

Had a drive out near sunset to the church at Lower Higham.

Ifield Church

Had a 15 mile bike ride around the local roads today. Stopped of at Ifield church.

11 Miles On My Bike

Did a bike ride out to the church on the marshes this morning, before the weather changed.

Long and Slow

I have had a super dense ND filter for a couple of years but not made many chances to use it. Today looked to be ideal, very windy with lots of movement in the clouds, and sunny intervals

I went down to my favourite old church at Lower Higham and then on to the abandoned dredger.

The results were very pleasing.

St Leonard's Church, Hythe,

We had visited Hythe a couple of times and really liked its quaint high street with all the odd antique and bric a brac shops.

We had also walked up the hill and looked into the parish church of St Leonard's. it was interesting but the ossuary that the church was famous for was not open early in the year.

A couple of months ago we decided to revisit Hythe with the specific aim of visiting the ossuary. to find the ossuary you have to walk along the road that runs beside the church and follow the sign to the crypt.

Some of the images below are of skulls and bones, scroll at your own risk.

All rather gothic.

I had seen pictures off the crypt but the seeing all the bones in the great stack with the odd sculls looking out was a very strange experience.

While we were there we had a chat with two research students who were doing measurements on the sculls to see if there were any ethnic information that could be obtained from the sculls.

Winchester Cathedral

Some images from Winchester Cathedral

Angelsey

The weather was looking better the further west we went today so we ended up on the edge of Anglesey. Parys mountain and the church on the sea.

Relaxed Sunday

Not much on this Sunday except a trip up to Greenwich and then a run out into the country to do some blackberrying.
