The little boy is happy to play inside.
I've been lucky to catch a few churches between downpours. This one some distance out in the country.
The next two in town. Inglewood isn't all that big, I think the population is somewhere around the 3,000 mark. So I was surprised to find two rather large (by rural New Zealand standards) and beautiful churches. I found a guardian angel to show me around the recently refurbished Sacred Heart Catholic Church.
And found something inside St Andrews Anglican Church I haven't seen anywhere else.
Think it might get a bit cold in here sometimes?
I will try to catch up on a few blogs this afternoon perhaps.
Wonderful little churches. I love the last with the ponchos or whatever on the pews.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful churches. I especially like that twisted old tree next to the church in the first photo.
ReplyDeleteI assume they are rugs/blankets and not kneelers. If so, what a brilliant idea and how welcoming the colours are.
ReplyDeleteI really must make the time to explore churches other than with you in Northland. It's such a rich source of the country's history. Mind you we did one or two around Hawkes Bay which was quite rewarding. I'm sure that I've played croquet at Inglewood. I must seek out the church. Ho hum: feeling a bit homesick.
