The Wise Owl of Christ Church. In fact there are a pair of them in the churchyard these days so hopefully they are nesting!. We spotted them in the ash tree this week as we were taking out the rubbish. Photo credit: Fred Image of the Week #182

Welshpool U3A
Earlier today I had the great pleasure of sharing the story of our family’s restoration journey here at Christ Church to a large audience of 85 members of Welshpool’s U3A. The feedback was wonderful with many comments of admiration and gratitude for our efforts to restore one of Welshpool’s landmark buildings. Many thanks to Welshpool U3A for having me!

A Victorian glass filter on this view of the churchyard from one of the Apse windows. Cherishing these views as I hope not to be standing up here again for quite some time! Image of the Week #177
