Some Misc

I have a number of sets of pics queued up, but here's Some Misc to get out of the way first...

Life will be so much easier when they finally get around to sorting out their rocking mess here.
So it's Goodbye to the Turkish Kitchen in Conway St, an eyesore to some but it had a certain charm to my eyes.

The Town Church

Looking down inside the Town Church (note the pews have been replaced by Comfy Chairs) from...
.. an extra seating area above the entrance...
A window at the back of these remaining pews - note the middle one at the bottom says "Wording damaged in the air raid 28th June 1940" - those pesky Germans. I wonder if it was shrapnel or just the massive air pressure of bomb blasts?
Window by the stairs up to that area.
Up at the business end - the altar...
.. a recently opened up area previously full of organ...
.. and on the other (Mulcaster St) side, the Lady Chapel.

Bouley Bay

A pebbly beach behind the pier at Bouley Bay. It's fairly easy to climb over the rocks at the end (behind us here in the pic) ...
.. hop over that lot and there's another mini-bay. One day I might even venture farther along. I can't imagine making it to Egypte's Petit Port even at super-low tide, but it could be interesting to find out how far is possible.
A little islet near the hotel.
L'Etacquerel Fort guarding the eastern side of the bay...
... closer. Many moons ago I fondly remember some outdoor .. activities.. here, one delightful summer evening...  ;)

And finally...

A new muriel at Romeril's, note how the HMV one has faded away so badly it makes a mockery of the CoOp having been given the row of buildings on a plate on the understanding that they would be renovated and preserved. If they're not prepared to, they should be compulsory-purchased back for the same amount they paid. As a shareholder I'd be pressing for them to make better use of these assets!

I wonder if this was meant to be Nerina Pallot but it looks like the poor girl has suffered a collision with a camper van.


Meanwhile Romerils are making full use of their property by walling in the covered carpark as new shopfloor with a new entrance. Their outdoors carpark is being tarted up now that it's no longer leased to the States for public use.
