St. Thomas the Apostle Church Claughton on Brock.

I’ve been to a funeral today of one hundred & one lady who lived life to the absolute full.
She was very keen on education all her life & passed many exams in her lifetime even learning Chinese rapt one point.
I think the secret of a long life is being interested in everything& everyone!
Never loose your zest for life!

St Tomases is a country church with a beautiful church yard. There has been a chapel on this site since1357. Lots of history there.
I think there must have been a wedding recently as the flowers were lovely.

Three good things:
1. Connie has gone home…she’s happy & we are ready for a break! 🤣🤣
2. On the road today there was a road sweeper & the name on the front was …Meryl Sweep! Made me smile!
3. Lots of catching up with people I hadn’t seen for ages including my brother!
Beautiful place. Sorry to hear it was a funeral, but glad she had a good life.

It is a beautiful Church.. different to what I would expect from an English country Church..
She sounds quite a lady.. and I agree an interest in life keeps you going.

@julzmaioro We have very different churches in the UK Jukz. Some are very plain but others like these more ornate. Usually depends on the denomination, this is a Catholic Church.

Lovely chapel. Leaving this world at that age is a great feat and the lady has used well her time while she was with us. Would that every one copy her.

Not to be expected in a country church but the English church was very important for generations and so had to be a place where people wanted to come! Your photo so good for being inside and some churches are so dark inside!
