Some of the really old places have such a long and often troubled history that is fascinating to read about.<br />In our local village here in Scotland the church has just hit the national news recently because a very rare bible has been stolen. Apparently the neighbours here say they had just had some visiting foreign fishermen and all sorts has been happening round the village - but could just be coincidence. Such a shame though it had been in the church for people to see all this time. Everyone is shocked.wherethejourneytakesmehttps://wherethejourneytakesme2.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-31893979701762206182018-06-28T09:15:04.120+01:002018-06-28T09:15:04.120+01:00That's such a beautiful little church.That's such a beautiful little church.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-64728592715566721632018-06-28T08:13:45.129+01:002018-06-28T08:13:45.129+01:00Another nice, little church.
