Boxing Day and beyond.

We had planned to do something on Boxing Day, honest. But, other than make scrummy sausage rolls and then settle down and eat them when they were still hot, we just lazed around in the house.

Being a Saturday, there was a full day of sport, and so live games on TV, commentary on the radio, and messing around online with photography on Flickr.

We did sit and watch the first series of Eureka, which I bought for Julie, nice gentle humour and some original ideas, and so very X-File-y. Anyways, we enjoyed them very much, sitting on the sofa with our cats, drinking some nice coffee and a huge slice of Dundee Cake.

What's not to like?



Sunday was fairly bright, and so we went out in the car. I wanted to snap another couple of churches, and so after looking at the list and picking a couple just east of Sandwich and headed out in the car. The truth is I had picked one church now I come to think of it, and on the way we came to a small village church in Woodnesborough. It was locked, but had been open there would have been a service
anyways.



And after getting the shots we headed to the village of Ash. Ash is quite a large village, and the church is on the highest point beside the main road, and has a huge churchyard.



There was a service inside, and I could hear the odd snatch of organ playing. Light was tricky, as was getting a clear shot, but I can always go back in the summer.



We then drove to Grove Ferry, we were going to have a snack in the Inn there, but after looking at the menu and hearing the specials, we chose the roast beef. A wise choice; we sat at a table by the large windows, we looked out onto the river, the willows weeping into the cold water.



Food arrived, and the meal was good. We finished off with dessert, plumb cheesecake for me, and a cup of fresh coffee.
