a walk in the clouds

We've taken several family outings, some extravagant, some just around the corner. Two weeks ago we decided to go on a family walk, something we've been doing regularly (and yours truly has lost a whopping 14 pounds!)
We decided on this particular day to walk up to the local Parish church. The children thought the place was in a state of disrepair but when you explain to them that the place was built in 1756 and not broken, just old, they become a little awe struck and appreciative for its longevity (as much as one can expect from children).
We toured the frost bitten grave yard, the erect gravestones seemed to roost in the grass with a stillness that created a deafening silence. We sat outside the church entrance on a cold stone benchfor a bit of a rest.
The children were entranced by the age of the place, but alas, we were locked out. You can see the picture here is the height of summer, with the dark setting in and the naked crooked trees of winter, i just couldn't get a shot of it properly. This one shot, of the whole church, with the yellow flowers, is of course a promo shot.
