Happy New Year

After a bit of a break, I think it's time to get back to some photography therapy! And I am lucky to have a new camera to explore. Here is St Mary The Virgin Church, which dates back almost a thousand years. The church probably succeeded an earlier Saxon church on the same site. This was mentioned in the Domesday Survey in 1086 as a 'church in Bixle' [Bexley] where it is said that St Paulinus came to preach. It will have been through a few plagues in its time, and it is just emerging from another.

With Brexit done and a Covid vaccine on the way, we can look forward to a more settled 2021 for everyone, I hope. My very best wishes to you all.

Imposing in black & white. As you say, it's seen a lot of history over the centuries. Let's hope the future is peaceful after the year we will all remember - the most horrible 2020.
Enjoy your new camera.

The strength of black and white in this image suits the history you tell. Nice composition. Lovely to see you back loaded with new camera.
