It's a very 'purposeful' looking church. After your last post I was trying to think when I was last in Beverley. One of the problems of Blogland is that there are so many photos of and references to places I've been but just can't recall now. Oh dear: too many decades.

Tomorrow they will be our friends. Most seem to enjoy a day at the races with our head of state.The bad ones are just folk who feel they have no future. Our PM Dithery is now committed to all out war on them, whoever the thems are; that is Conservative Party policy just before an election. He has committed six jets and one has a water canon. He is reacting like them he is a man with no future.<br /><br />Sorry for my ramblings YP. I didn't mean to play with my devils whotsit.
