If I said today was rather miserable, if I said it was wet…. both would be understatements.

Our current weather trend  has now reached the stage where depression could soon take over the thought process.

Long term predictions are not encouraging, in fact rather bleak, a bit like our current Political outlook here in the UK.

Despite all that it is still important to ask you to…

Please Remember ….

Stay Safe …. Be Kind…. Look After Each Other

Saint Mary’s Church, Bergen, Norway

Many of the streets in Bergen are narrow, so when you turn a corner, the scale and bold frontage of Saint Mary’s Church does rather take you by surprise.  Origins are 12 century.  The architectural style is a mix of Gothic but mainly Romanesque, its bold white twin towers contrast well with the heavy stone.

A very different bold statement to that of Wells Cathedral featured in last Sundays post, but a similar generation and equally as dramatic and imposing .

Please Remember ….

Stay Safe …. Be Kind…. Look After Each Other
