The Chellington Centre by busylady

The Chellington Centre

It was a beautiful sunny day today so we took a drive out to Stevington. On the way we passed Chellington not far from Bedford. This lovely 12th century church of St Nicholas was renovated and transformed in 2005 to provide a residential day centre for retreats, school groups and a place to access local attractions. I liked the shadow of the tree on the church in this photo. We've had a busy time recently with our daughter and family living with us for three weeks. Happily for all they were able to move into their new house this weekend. A mammoth job as they moved all the furniture themselves. I just held the fort and looked after Henry! Our house still looks like a bomb hit it and so of course does theirs! But it's a happy occasion for them to move into a home together at last.
Lovely light catching those few remaining leaves. So much blue sky today!

Wonderful capture of this beautiful church with that gorgeous blue sky.

We had a lovely old church with high trees alongside and I photographed the shadows. Then they cut them all down and it looks naked! Glad this church is still being used. Good for you for having bedlam in our house for that time!

Lovely structure and interesting capture. Pity the tree obscures the tower.

@tonydebont Well I do have other photos where the tower isn't obscured but I chose this one as I liked the shadow.

This is great - I don't get out into north Beds very often, even though it's only a shortish drive for me. I know some of the villages out that way are really nice, so I must make more of an effort!
