This is a desolate wintry scene of the Easington village churchyard and church, in the northeast of England. (It's the kind of pic I love.) Needless to say (though I'm saying it), it took me ages to put here, as, in spite of your nice comment, Winifred, I still have difficulty doing the blog. Now that I'm back to the old computer, I can't remember how to get to the files, or which file I put things in. When I sat down at the keyboard about an hour ago I opened Picasa and there were over 6,000 photos of faces, so I set about deleting the people I don't know - I think about 5,000 were Bianka's friends from when she stayed with me years ago.
Has your weather improved Frank? It's very changeable here - the other day I went out with a cardigan which I had to put on and take off all day, and I carried an umbrella which sheltered me alternately from rain, then sun. At least it's not boring weather when it's like that.
Yesterday Lina and I went adventuring to Newtown, where I found this most glorious book called The French Cat and of course had to buy it. Keeping to the churchyard theme I've selected this pic from the author's blog:

Now you can hardly get inside the door without tripping over thousands of books. But this one is my favourite of all time!!!!!!!!!!! As you can see, at 11:40am I still haven't made my bed and am still in my pjs, drinking my umpteenth cup of coffee.
Newtown, an inner-city trendy but scungy suburb:
You really need a few body piercings and tattoos to feel at home here.

Easington church only needs a bit of snow and it's straight from 'Jane Eyre'or one or other of the Bronte's books; being raised in Haworth in the
depths of Yorkshire wildness was all they had ever seen. Just seen the new film version of Jane Eyre and I recommend it. Love the picture of the girl lying on the pavement to take a photograph of the cat - it would be just like a cat to walk away just as she got into position! xx
The next time we have snow, I will take a picture of this beautiful Norman Church, its over 900 years old and built on the site of a former Saxon Church. Our weather has imoroved over the last few days Diane! colder, but much brighter.
