Churches, More Eurovision and Winter Gardens

Almost a week since I had any thoughts.... almost true! Been at work all week so brain not functioning! A fantastic sunny Saturday off meant we ventured into the wilds of Lancashire only to find one of the most amazing churches hidden off a main road route. Churchtown near Kirkland, Garstang has the most amazing Catholic church dating back to Norman times. It has a charming vestry built c1570 which is showing signs of age (it is listing but this adds to its charm). We later went on to Fleetwood and Knott End, coming back via Cockerham and the coldest church yard in Britain! St Michael's has an amazing view over Morecambe Bay (including the lovely landmark of Heysham Power station).

The weather has turned into real wintery drearyness so we came home... sounds like a story you write as a kid.

Got home to find some Eurovision DVDs :-) also got a lovely find off Ebay this week, a handbill from Morecambe Winter Gardens from 1949, with the wonderful inclusion of the phone number.... Morecambe 8.

Hopefully we won't be snowed in on Sunday so we can get out and about again.
