From my little jaunt this week . . .
This is The Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Haseley,

This is St. John the Baptist, Aston Cantlow - it is said that William Shakespeare's parents were married here in 1557.

There is a little cottage right next to the lychgate:

and here's a church I've posted a picture of before but from the other side - St. Mary's, Oldberrow:

All places I cycled past before I had to stop.
Was going to "react" to your post but couldn't decide if a "like" or a "sad" was appropriate. My intention is to make the trip twice a year as a memorial ride for a dear friend whose ashes are scattered at Oldberrow - once on his birthday and once on the anniversary of his death. I take it easy nowadays and make it a two-night camping trip, staying at Aston Cantlow and doing a leisurely circuit of about 20 miles on the middle day to visit Oldberrow and get some shopping in Studley.
My Good Lady is not in good health now and I spend most of my time in a carer role, but I've got a head full of memories from my time on the road and I'm hopeful that I can come back in the future.
