Spring is in the air,the equinox has come and gone,and today looked like a perfect day for a walk in the country. I took the bus down to Mickleham,via Greggs(for a sausage roll breakfast),and reversed the route described earlier.

Here's a few additional pics,showing the area in the early spring :D

I'm taking a bit more interest in local churches these days,particularly those that are pre-Reformation...

I missed out on St Giles completely before. My bad!



The parish website offers a nice potted history
http://www.sgsgashtead.com/Articles/131908/St_Giles_and/Welcome/Services/A_Brief_History.aspx

Given some of the things ol' Giles is patron of,it's no wonder it was such a welcoming place to have lunch :whistle:
