Silhouettes
I photographed this view of Christ Church earlier this week, when there was a lovely low misty light that created some lovely silhouettes. I especially like the trees and you can just make out Powis Castle in the distance. I’m so glad that I took this picture when I did as the rest of the week has been the most…

Furniture shopping
A recent visit to our local antique store proved very fruitful. I was looking for some small shelves for Owen’s room, which I happily found and snapped up just in time as a lady came in just after me and wanted them! While I was chatting to Melvyn, the owner of Lamplite Antiques, I spotted the most beautiful Victorian table.…

Welshpool Series, Part 3: Broad Street & High Street
‘The Cross’ Welshpool The old bakery on the corner of Broad Street has the most beautiful mirrored panels in the window. One represents coffee, another tea.

I notice all sorts of things now, which before we took…

Nativity Plays
As this is the Nativity Play season, I thought I’d share this photograph, which was kindly given to us recently by Mr Mike Boote. It was taken here in Christ Church around 1950. I just love the costumes! And it’s nice to see the Apse end in the background. From Left to Right: Back: Geoff Lloyd, Roy Jones, Norma Gittins,…
