Little time capsules seemingly unaffected however crazy the world gets and a great place to eat a packed lunch and to consider ones own mortality. That may read as morbid but to me it is not in the least so. It is difficult to convey, whether by pictures or words,the feeling of utter peace sitting in an 800 year old churchyard surrounded by those who were not just buried there but who were christened there and married there. The churches were built in times that were obviously as bloody and brutal as anything we are currently engaged in. However, they seem so far removed from current madness that sitting there soaking up the sun, listening to bird song it is hard to believe that anything bad is happening anywhere in the world. The car radio on the way home will soon burst that bubble but for a brief time every Saturday and Sunday the world seems a better place.
