And yes, I always carry an extra charged battery at such times.<br /><br /><i>British</i> covers the entire UK and <i>English</i> covers only England. If you're from England, you do NOT want to be called British we soon discovered. Interesting, right?!<br /><br />The pulpit IS for the minister, which makes this not quite the HIGH church of some of the cathedrals elsewhere. But it just makes me love it more. And after the service you can go outside and pay your respects to your deceased loved ones! Quite convenient!<br /><br />And isn't that Tintern Abbey something else?!!!Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-2736925942023443392012-07-09T15:58:32.631+02:002012-07-09T15:58:32.631+02:00I would think such towns must be brimming with poe...I would think such towns must be brimming with poets... how can it not mold them? <br /><br />What is the difference between English and British. I thought they were interchangeable...<br /><br />I don't think I've ever seen a church with a cemetery right up to its front door like St. Michael and All Angels! The inside images are exquisite (is that a pulpit for a minister or for a musician at the left hand corner of the b&w photo?) and then you end this post with those yellow rapeseeds... I love the logs to the left - what were they from? Did they clear a huge field of trees?<br /><br />Ha!

There were a LOT of famous people connected to Tintern Abbey over the years, btw, including Allen Ginsberg who took an acid trip there in 1967. :) Oh me, oh my.

We drove all over the place and we visited the most delightful places.<br />The bookstore is a great place to be, when is rains for 3 days in a row.<br />Castle Frome was very special. Chris knows to keep the best for the last. That Abby in the golden light is wonderful. <br />We both are so lucky that we found Chris as a perfect host. A memory added to the, already, long list.<br />A wonderful post with beautiful pictures.

But I'm thinking that you make your luck, you and Astrid, by forming such wonderful friendships!<br /><br />I would LOVE to do a photo shoot at Tintern Abbey... what an amazing place... I happen to have an extreme fondness for ruins and could see myself easily having to be dragged away, kicking and screaming! <br /><br />Love the photos of the bookshop... we used to have 3 second-hand bookshops in walking distance from my house... all are gone now since the internet has exploded. I believe there is still one locally in Georgetown but book shops are having hard times, these days, between e-readers and online sellers. <br /><br />The church interiors and rape field images are particularly nice. (Although I often find myself unable to pick favorites out of all the marvelous images you post.)Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12170129859014155605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-28636202479472541102012-06-04T19:46:36.309+02:002012-06-04T19:46:36.309+02:00Cherry: I KNOW you'd love this little church....<b>Cherry:</b> I KNOW you'd love this little church...and well, the big abbey, too.
