Burrington Fete Classic Cars

We had a village fete at the weekend which featured a small gathering of classic cars. The first is an impressive Jaguar XK150...
The cars lined up...
A nice little 1931 Morris. The actual car was a bit more symmetrical than my drawing...

Burrington Church

This church is in a lovely little village in North Somerset.

Reverends, thousands of 'em

Here's a couple from the Mendips - I live on the edge of them. The first is the Rock of Ages - there's a song about it. The Rev. Toplady once sheltered there in a storm and later wrote the song. He was a bit dim I reckon as there's a perfectly huge cave just opposite. I'm afraid I didn't capture it very well and got bogged down in the detail. I'll have to try again some time...

In the woods nearby are the ruins of Mendip Lodge - built by Rev. Thomas Whalley in 1787. It was once a very grand Italianate house but sadly there's not much left of it now...
