To my immense distress I've managed to miss the weather vane off the top.

Distress because it bizarrely seemed to feature a giant sloth or something similar!

I'm not going back too soon, it was 1200m of climbing!

I came across this little church this morning in small village called Orville in Normandy. Sadly on the wall was a memorial to a pilot who was killed in August 1944.

normally I'd sneer at such colour co-ordination on a bike biggs - but you have a special pass - I like what I can see of it - from a distance.

Saint Dunstans in the East, London, remains of.
Ancient church, damaged in the great fire, stuff added to it by Wren, later rebuilding, Wren's bit all that survived the Blitz, turned into a nice small outside space beginning of 70s.
 
So impressive biggs, i just had to look it up.
From wiki
In 1930 the British architectural historian Sir Alfred Clapham called it "perhaps the most imposing architectural memorial of the 7th century yet surviving north of the Alps".[1] It is the largest English church that remains substantially as it was in the Anglo-Saxon era. It was designated as a Grade I listed building in 1954.

And all on a fine morning's ride. :smile:
