The dank mist hung around this morning worrying the birds as they sought breakfast. I watched from the safety of my bed until breakfast for me dragged me sleepily into the kitchen where for once plenty was to be found.
However tiredness would not leave and instead of going out to change the world, buy needful things and potter around I soon went back to bed which turned out to be the best idea. Quite why I got up in the first place has puzzled me ever since.
I returned to enquiring re churches. I had an email from the museum concerning a man who is researching churches of old. This had me searching for books, most of which I could not find, and will force me to search the library, not very good, to see if any books there can help.
Some churches go back to the days of the Saxons, the man requesting information has all info on that he says and I now have to look for the info that I canny find. I keep finding things he probably knows, but will get again, and will have to dip into history for the growth of churches since the reformation.
This could take time...
Otherwise I have merely attended to the disappointing football results and will then return to bed where my mind lies...

You could ask the vicars.....
How lucky you are to have those old churches! I am fascinated by them, to walk on the steps and to see how they are worn down by all those who have walked on them before, touch a door into a church and see how it is polished by the many hands who have opened it. I repeat this: you are lucky. Research away and think of me!
There is a book about 1000 best churches which I bought. I love looking round old churches. I think in a way though I prefer to find them for myself, as the book has remained largely unread. I wonder if anyone has a real overview of them.
Fly, Vicars know nothing! St Paul's only goes back 50 years!
Kay, Indeed many here go back around a thousand years, very fine too.
Jenny, Finding a wee church open and full of interest is a great day out. I must have some soon.
