The Church near My house !

 

Looks like at least 500 years old You know how old?

 

The Norman church which replaced the Saxon chapel built by Aethelfleda in 915 AD was declared unsafe in 1846 and in September that year the last sermon was preached in there.

The foundation stone of the new building was laid by Sir Richard Brooke at Easter, 1847 and on 11th January, 1849 the building was dedicated to All Saints and opened by the Bishop of Chester. Some parts of the old building were incorporated into the new :-

 

Cherry blossom( I think ) tree in my front garden, the blossom doesn't last very long though

 

Thought I spotted older elements too!

 

Another boat wreck on the river

 

Tons of re-bars from the old bridge

 

I don't know what these flowers are called but for a short time they cover the cliffs and I love them. + more gorse looking gorgeously yellow and the sea blending into sky haze

 

My favorite blossom tree in my lawn. I wish this tree would hold onto its blossoms for longer. It’s as if they just come and go within 15 days

 

unfortunately, that seems to be the case with a high percentage of flowering plants.

first picture i saw i thought YES that's it! but it says 5-15cm height... these ones are really low to the ground, 2-3cm at most.
the flower looks the same though

edit: actually i think that must be it, yes. well done. they're just on the way shorter side of the spectrum where i was looking..

i absolutely love this idea. in nz they are often old refrigerators.
