I'm trying.....

.....really trying to catch up here.





Back in September it was Heritage Open Weekend.
I managed to see two very different churches.
 The first was The Cast Iron Church in the delightful suburb of Liverpool, Aigburth. Called St-Micheal-in-the-Hamlet.



Then just down the road is the site of the Festival Gardens from 1984. Part of which is a lovely park.







Our second church was a little closer to home.
St Thomas' Church in Friarmere, also known as Heights Church.
Built in 1675 but declared redundant in 1970.
What a view!
 They had the original stencils used in the church decoration.










They are filming some scenes for the film 'A Monster Calls' at he church at the moment.






 I loved these two headstones.
I also did a spot of Baking in September.
 Parkin....but not any old parkin.......
 1914 parkin!
 For the Michaelmas Show.
 I got a Bronze.






I got the recipe from a book of recipes from World War One. It was a bit dry....but they made short work of it in the staff room later that week.
