Rambling on...

Stacey and I in traditional Nigerian dress at the Hailsham Circuit Mission Lunch- might wear this every Sunday! :)


Rainbow and windmill- double photography points! On the way back from rambling.


The church itself, known to be about 1,000 years old.


A yew tree growing in a churchyard- rumored to be at least 2,000 years old.


A bathroom (loo) I used on a stop while rambling. In the U.S., it would be a historic landmark, but here, a bathroom- crazy!


The Long Man of Wilmington (not Willingdon or Wilmingdon, two other nearby towns- very creative names around these parts - is it any wonder I get lost? :) ) He was carved out in the cliffside sometime between the bronze age and the medieval period- 235 feet high and proportioned so that he appears normal from the ground, not above!


Up on the downs with John again- check out the size of this mushroom! Yes, that's really my foot- size 10.


Revd. B all dressed up to lead his first British funeral- never thought I would see this sight!

Sweden and Stacey!

I got a chance to sneak away for a few days to Sweden to see Stacey and where she is for the year- my first trip to Sweden, so it was fun. It was wonderful to see Stacey and we had a great time- she had planned a day away on the coast (Molle?) which involved a serious hike to a lighthouse along the coast (where else would a lighthouse be?) the most exciting moment of which involved walking through the middle of a cow pasture mere feet from giant cows with the largest horns I have ever seen (unlikely all 30 of them were bulls, but they all had serious horns!). Other pics are Slatton (sp?), the lovable but troublesome cocker spaniel at Stacey's house, Stacey on the coast, and me climbing the rope back up from the seashore to the trail. Enjoy!
