Out and about

Faye went to a birthday party today at Aslacton, a little village down the road from us.  She had her face painted, so now we don't have to bother buying a puppy  ...

It was particularly freezing out of the car and some places we drove through were really wet ...

St Michael's Church in Aslacton has a Saxon* round tower, 15th century Nave and Chancel, five bells (dating from the 17th century and the oldest set in Norfolk).  The pulpit frontal dates from the 15th Century, although I wasn't able to get inside today.     I didn't have time to frame shots properly, it was so cold there - I felt like my fingertips were freezing off!

 The Anglo-Saxon period was from 410 to 1066 ... technicall before Norman times (when Long Stratton's St. Mary's Church round tower was built) - so this little out of the way Church in Aslacton, is very old indeed.
