Nice work, Nathan.  I particularly like the interior (second) shot. Very

My flight home from Liverpool was in the evening, so I drove west, all the way along the north coast and across Anglesey, ending up in Holyhead. As I was walking around the town, I happened on this church, apparently founded by St Cybi, cousin of the patron saint of Wales, St David. There has been a church here since the 6th century, although of course the current structure is much more recent:

These two volunteers (stewards, they call themselves), show people around and explain various features of the church. They were with someone else when I came in, so I just looked around on my own (which I prefer anyway). But as I was leaving, they approached me and apologised for not being available, and asked where I was from—a simple question, the answer to which is complicated in my case…So we had a nice chat and at the end I got them to pose for me:
