school holidays

Posted in blog on 26 June, 2009 | 4 Comments »

Waved the children of St Mary’s school off on their summer holidays today, then went to pray by the river while everyone else splashed and played.

time

new header photo led to new background colour led to new style.  Pardon me while I play for a few days.  I haven’t begun to tweak the CSS yet.
