Eynsham Village

 

Here are a few photos from the Village of Eynsham where I visited a church last week 

This is the  Bartholomew Room which was built as charity school in 1703 The lower part was most likely a market premises but walled up in the 19th century and had various uses from being a gaol to fires station

This week the Church Explorer takes you back to St Giles Bletchindon for a look around the inside of the church, something I could not do on my first visit

Cloudy Sunrise

 

These were the last photos I took of the sunrise in 2022 just before Christmas

An hour later the sky had clouds with hints of blue

Night Life

 

I was given a wildlife camera for Christmas, I set it up to see what was creeping around at night and found a mouse helping itself to bird food.

What's in here

Climb in 

After moving it to a shelf  the little fellow soon found the goodies

and climbed in again

I wondered what set the camera off at the bird feeders and noticed a cat in the background

A few hours later a blue tit made an early start. I will show some of the birds on the feeders next time

Frosty Plants

 It has been cold for the last few days and will be for a few more yet, I went out in the garden and took a few photos around of the frost on the plants, this is a collage I made of it.

Take Care

St Giles Bletchingdon

 

This week the church Explorer visits St Giles Bletchingdon which was a nice looking church and churchyard but locked on the occasion of my visit. Turns out the village had an area power cut so the church was forgotten about that day
