Zanny got into a heated arguement with the church steward about various religious issues, including the drunkenness of Noah, the gnostic gospels and various other things that the steward would refuse to listen to. A most entertaining debate.

Back at our home town Bourton-on-the-water, a charming village with lovely old foot bridges.

Oooooooh, those Grotesques are quite grotesque. I heard once that grotesques were put on churches to ward off grotesque evil spirits.
