    I’m currently on holiday and so spending quite a lot of time going in and out of churches. (What else do you think I would do on holiday?)

    I’m starting a new blog tonight. Just before Christmas I bought myself a new camera and the idea is to post photos regularly to ensure that I’m committed to using the camera. I used to be quite good at taking pictures, but went off it when I got my first digital camera. Somehow the resolution…
