Churches

There are a few churches around the place. All over the UK and abroad too and for some reason I seem to end up taking a snap of some them along the way. Maybe it's the sense of peace that can pervade the places - or the architecture. Not sure what it is here on the island as most of the churches are almost brutalist in design - whatever goes on inside. At least a lot of the churches here on the island are still used one way and another but there are one or two casualties This is one.

I make no apology - except for this time. And possibly the next.

Of course it's Toots. He kindly took me back to Tong to get the village shoppe horseless carriage that was having it's wheels re-welted or something like that. It necessitated a lift on the uppy thing anyway [for the van!] so the nice mechanic-fella could fiddle underneath. And no I don't have a snap of it since it was snowing at the time and I forgot! Yes, forgot.

And yes it is another snap of Toots - this tyme looking rather happy. For him. Which isn't surprising since he'd had a fine shopping trippette and is off to warmer climes and his other gaff soon. Taking his Isolette and some film too to complete a short project that may grace this place sometime in the not too distant future.

Meanwhile, we are awaiting another storm. A continuation of the last one almost since it has been a tad draughty for weeks it seems. Even took off part of the village school roof last night and, kept me awake for hours as the house shook to its unsubstantial foundations. HHHCB is rather dis-chuffed about it all I can tell you although she liked the light coating of white stuff on the ground this morning. And no, Nigella had not been round.

Apologies anyway. I dunked some asa 5 film I'd shot at 100asa in MG developer with the resulting clear strip of film. That's why you get this one. Sorry and all that.

This one is not a print - although I have done one - only it's easier to show the neg-scan

Too sharp for me. You can see what it is and everything. Must have made a mistake.

I hate shopping of any kind so at least it gave me something to do while dearest Eve filled our hand-basket with fruit and veg while seemingly the rest of the shoppe visitors filled theirs with ready-meals and biscuits! Possibly.

[I was sneaking a biscuit in our basket too - or trying to ]
