The church was situated close to the river and was surrounded by hay fields and grazing cows and horses.....We rode our bikes up there a lot....I remember we would pick a bunch of Tansy and climb up on the rail fence and the cows and horses would com over and put their faces in our laps so we would rub the flowers on them to keep the bugs away and scratch their itches.... There was a huge pipe organ in that church and one of the young priests was an amazing player.....He would open the double doors at the rear of the church and we sat on the rails in the sunshine. surrounded by the thundering music and smelling the Tansy.....That was pure happiness for me.....

I would love to walk up to the church and listen to the music or just sit inside and contemplate....... How old was the surrounding grave yard at the time? Happiness is when what you think, what you say, what you do are in harmony - M. Gandhi

I would love to walk up to the church and listen to the music or just sit inside and contemplate....... How old was the surrounding grave yard at the time? It is a state church, so all births and deaths are recorded by the church, including my birth....this church also serves as a polling station.....Because of the ancient, magnificent organ and acoustics, there have been many musical recordings made there. There is a child-sized carved and painted wooden angel hanging from the ceiling....it's a flying angel with it's arms stretched out in front....It is lowered during ceremonies....I remember it in my little sister's baptism.....I thought it was very sweet and beautiful holding the bowl of water for the priest..... At my grandmother's funeral, when I was very sad, on the verge of screaming, I looked up...there was a glittering up there from the sunlight through the high windows and there was the angel, way up there in Heaven and as I stared, she winked at me....just like my grandmother would do to signal to me in the midst of turmoil that she was with me.......I remembered that angel as being breath-takingly beautiful, but a few years ago, I saw a photo of it and it is really very ugly......LOL....
