Anna Lapwood;
You may be more familiar with this;
It's 'Sunday Morning', the third of the Sea Interludes composed by Benjamin Britten for his opera Peter Grimes.
I found myself in a fever to get out - to walk in fresh air, and see what was growing in the gardens in our nearby streets.
As we slowly walked up the road towards the duck pond I heard the single bell in the church half a mile away, shortly joined by the sound of the full peal from the main church in town another mile further away.
The church family has been a big part of our lives for over 30 years now. When my family all lived so far away so that we only net up a few times a year, the church family felt like an extra set of cousins, aunts and uncles, closer at hand.
Church family is precious.
ReplyDeleteYes, where would we be without them - 'the communion of saints'
DeleteThe morning sun casts its light over the fields, forests, and villages... it's going to be a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteI wish you lovely walks filled with the sound of bells and joy.
No sun here, but just getting out into fresh air was enough!
DeleteI love the sound of church bells.
ReplyDeleteThey can be so uplifting
