Last of the gardening onslaught: Champagne Moment- the most ridiculously named rose (well, there’s a lot of competition) but I rate it. Soft buttery colour at the base of the petals - that’ll be the Chardonnay- which makes it interesting, and it’s strong plant without being too vigorous. A+

Next up, Tilney All Saints- C14 mannerism, massive buttressing to stop it collapsing into the marsh, and friable old render of the sort @limefinishes.bsky.social would enjoy. A mere glimpse of the interior. How, you ask? Well…

Terrington St Clement- Northants limestone, C16 brick, Norfolk Carr stone. Separate tower: the effect is a great ship moored by a pharos. The transept window arrangement surely post- medieval salvage. The manifest wealth that once faced the Baltic states. Amazing place.
