ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL, MORNING VERSE

All things bright and beautiful

all creatures great and small,

all things wise and wonderful,

the Lord God made them all.

KNARESBOROUGH TOWN WINDOWS

Town Windows is a collection of public art that uses trompe l'oeil paintings to create windows around the town. These art works illustrate characters and events from the town's long and rich history.  The art works use the technique of trompe l'oeil - a painting style that sets out to 'fool the eye' into seeing a painted picture as something real.

EVENING PRAYER

In His care confiding

I will sweetly sleep

For the Lord my Saviour

Will in safety keep.

(Psalter - prayer from Our Daily Bread)

God is a safe dwelling place in life's storms

MORNING VERSE

Day by day, dear Lord,

of thee three things I pray:

to see thee more clearly,

to love thee more dearly,

to follow thee more nearly,

day by day.

Attributed to St. Richard of Chichester

TEA TASTING IN GRANGE OVER SANDS

Here we are in the Hazelmere Cafe in Grange, let's look at the menu

This tea tasting is fun, wonder which is the nicest

Now for the food, let's tuck in

These Morecambe Bay shrimps look tasty

Where shall I start

INSIDE THE HOSPICE INCLUDING POEMS

We came across this hospice standing on the hill above Grange Over Sands, it was an interesting place. Stone steps led to a lookout across the Lakeland hills and across Morecambe Bay.
