Looking Up

One of the things my father always told me was to to look up. This is especially true in some of England's oldest churches, including Tewkesbury Abbey, the building of which began in 1102.

I  thought I would share some images of a few of the spectacular ceilings I saw.


I attended an antiques show at a stunning country house

  




This abbey is one of a few left fully intact.

This is a local parish church


I am heading home after lots of adventures, more than 600 iles on my car and visits with lots of friends and family!

  2. I'm sure he also meant by that "keep your eyes" open to all around you; I think many people go through life with their eyes closed! There is so much to see whether it is beautiful or ugly, but life's tapestry would not be rich without being observant. The irony is that I say this on a day when I have an eye infection, so I'm struggling to fulfill my own tenet!
