Remember Dave Allen?sometimes the real creepiness is once you venture inside
5 year old Dave taken to his first day at school.
"Now,Dave , will you be a good boy?"
Dave looks at the man nailed to a cross.

Yes, many catholic churches are horror shows - rather remind me of Blackpool Pleasure Beach ghost train.
Am sure this has impacted the Italian psyche.
(not to mention - oops I just did - Italian porn)
I do sometimes wonder what folk would think if crowds of men flocked every week to dark buildings in every town wafting strange smells where they sat entranced by visions of a naked woman writhing in agony, or something, strapped to a restraint. Attended by a bunch of cross dressing women. And only women.
(extra performances on saturday evenings)
Will return shortly with more elevated thoughts and pics.

St Leonard's Downham. Lancs - not especially interesting architecturally perhaps but I consider the view from the porch to possibly be one of the best anywhere in the country. In sunshine or a bright summer's eve it is glorious, though of course it's often a bit wet or misty in those parts so you'll have to take my word for it.
The view, somewhat overcast with big cloud, and then misty (not for nothing is a book called Mist Over Pendle)
Interesting gravestone (you can see it in the first pic).
Some of the "S"s have been replaced by a figure 8 - but not all.
Not sure what that's about - a chisseller had a few too many in the pub opposite or someone a bit p'ed off at not having been paid?
Some folks may be dimly aware of this being the setting for "Whistle Down the Wind"
Made by a bunch of southerners but manages to capture the essence of the location - and the general dampness
Film of course has a central religious theme but I don't think you have to be religious to appreciate it, or, for that matter, to lean your bike against a church porch and linger awhile in a church/grave yard.

some folks are blessed with very blue skies of late.
Are those snowdrops to the right of the bike?

Skies here have been very blue here for a couple of days, out in the car today I saw some spring flowers out, forecast is the same for tomorrow and I'm looking forward to some bike miles.

I got lucky today - blue skies, light winds AND a day off work. Normally only one of the three happens. And yes, they are snowdrops - loads of them out in the wild this morning along with the first daffodils as well thanks to the mild winter we've been having.

I've been in the front garden this afternoon tidying up,theres a patch of spring flowers in one corner that were already well established when we moved in 12 years ago, the only thing I have do with them is stop them taking over, which is what I was doing his afternoon, when they first show through I have to go through and remove the new ones that have come up amongst the other flowers.
