Still trying . This is a photograph of Snailwell Church near Newmarket. It is well worth a visit. The tower was built in 1070 and the rest of the church appears to date from the 1400s (they tell us).
Great to see your back in control Mike, I was imagining you and the 'pooter glowering unblinkingly at each other for 4 weeks until the 'pooter blinked first. Lovely late Saxon round-tower.
You can see the early-Norman influence in the cylindrical quality of the tower, I think the Saxons favoured a tapering tower with very thick walls at the base.
Mind you, upon checking, I find I haven't received any since the 14th of July; but that's not surprising considering the lightweight nature of my blogs. Perhaps blogger's post-man is on holiday?

Lovely to see you back, Mike. We've missed you. Photo has come out fine!
Very good Mike. Now what about our Scrabble game?
You don't appear to be receiving the comments I've posted ~ or were they to uncivil to publish, perhaps?
