More sites in England

Following the conference, the Senior couple group drove to Bath to tour the ancient Roman Bath ruins.   Using an audio device we listened to explanations and history of the baths as we walked through the facility.                     a picture of the main pool...


                              This was a unique half-circle apartment building in Bath.


                             In the city of Wells, we walked through the Wells Cathedral.
The front has a gallery of sculptures.. starting at the lower niches with biblical scenes, it rises through kings, bishops, angels to the twelve apostles with Christ over all.


We drove through this pretty mountain area, called Cheddar Gorge

The earth is so beautiful, and has so much variety!


And back on Guernsey the Bluebells were blossoming all over the island.
There is a spot they call the Bluebell Woods.  We went for a walk to check it out - oh my!



"For the beauty of the earth, for the beauty of the skies...

...hill and vale, and tree and flower, Sun and moon and stars of light..

Lord of all, to Thee we raise This our hymn of grateful praise !!

    1. Missionary work is slow. People either aren't interested in religion, or they "have their own church." The Elders have been teaching 2 people, who seem sincere in their search for truth. Our wonderful Elders do a lot of door knocking, and give service at charity shops several times a week.
