Taking photographs around the church and churchyard recently, it occurred to me how different things look from different angles. And you can miss things that have been there all the time that you haven't noticed, even if you have been passing them for years. I am trying to photograph parts of the church that people perhaps dont notice or at least dont see. When I look at the results I am surprised how beautiful things can be - just a small corner or a flower or a gravestone, or parts of the church interior. I guess it's the same with people. You think you know them and then they show themselves in a new light, or surprise you with an idea or part of them that you hadn't seen before. Looking at the wider picture, you might like to come and visit the church and environs sometime - the church community may be different from what you think.

Churchyard Flowers in April
Most of the daffodils have gone now, but the primroses and tree blossom are still around in the churchyard. There's a star=like blue flower which is lovely but I can't name. There are always the few unusual gravestones to look at. I have put up some pictures for you to see. Oops, one of my cat got in there!!!
THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED!
Its been a busy time over Easter in the church with the various activities that go on at this time. Before that, the Barn Dance was held at the Village Centre, but we didnt make a profit on it because of the high cost of hiring the Centre. I would have thought that as this was built for the Village, there should be some limits on when local organisations book this. £400 for an evening seems a lot and I may speak to our local councillor about this and see what can be done for any future bookings. Here are some pics of the evening.
