A Walk on the Wild Side - or not!!

I was still in London last Sunday so I decided to take a walk around Catford and maybe drop in to church on my travels -well someone has to pray for all the heathens out there!

I set off from Blythe Hill, it was a dull and overcast day:

                             

I finally came to St.William of York Church. He was an English saint canonized in the 12th century!

I got there way too early:

That was OK. The church had a beautiful stained glass window.

I lit some candles, there's one for you there Jackie!!

When I came out, it had rained and the sun was out shining. It's amazing what the power of prayer can do! I always say the older one gets, the closer one grows to God. I think it's called hedging one's bets!

I passed terraces of Victorian -or maybe Edwardian- homes. No matter they're all at least 100 years old:

Lovely homes with beautiful architectural details :

The Victorians were definitely an industrious lot:

Two things I really don't like about London is the traffic and this:

It's called fly-tipping here and is the dumping of waste on empty sites, totally illegal and, apart from being a public health hazard, it really is an eyesore and happens way too frequently.

But look what else I found, isn't he gorgeous?

The Tin Man - now all I have to find is the Yellow Brick Road!!!!!

Talk soon
