Week 6. May 11-18, 2003 |
Hi,The third week of May is completed, and we are thinking of home. This is Aunt Joan, who has a neice living in Werribee, my childhood home town. People here say I have a different (Melbourne) accent to Max. Son Barrie had to rebuild this little house after we had a strong wind storm last year.
May God smile on you today, | |
 
I messed up the camera, so on the first visit to Longhope, it took a video! Could not convert the images.So I experimented with close-ups, took the last item I embroidered, and copied a photograph from home. | |
Two sides of the cottage to the left and the church to the right. You can see that the road between is narrow. The village extends along this road for maybe a mile.

All Saints Church, Longhope traces history back to the first Incumbent inducted on 1 Oct 1340. It has interesting signs of medieval expertise, including the tower with 8 bells, and the 14th century entry porch down 3 steps. Admire the angel holding the lectern.

This reclining statue housed in the North Transept, is dated c1300, and is believed to be a priest, wearing clerical robes. Like other similar monuments, the face has been erased.
| |
We found Ross on Wye, and the cathedral on the hill dates back to 1280. It faces the valley with the Wye River well known for water sports. The Fish statue did not pose very well.
