Lovely to see your great photo's ...Dear Ruthie,<br />Lovely to see your great photo's of St Mary Redcliffe. Churches are often beautiful pieces of architecture with fascinating sculptures. The mosaic floor could easily be an Islamic tile design!<br />It's good to see how you were inspired by your trip to Bristol and created the magical fox mandala. The painting would look wonderful printed up as cards!<br />Welcome back to blogging again and spring blessings!<br />xxJo Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365999873131320691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067023107829045075.post-12653012809747088882011-05-17T22:17:51.630+01:002011-05-17T22:17:51.630+01:00Back in the 60's while serving with H.M Forces...Back in the 60's while serving with H.M Forces,we held a service in St Mary's.Great to see it again.<br />Have a great holiday.The Glebe Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609629219727888442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067023107829045075.post-269856525592524002011-05-17T21:25:48.692+01:002011-05-17T21:25:48.692+01:00Wonderful - so detailed and intricate!
