ooh you lucky devil. I've been meaning to go there for so long.

Have I put up this link before? It's got plenty of tempting spots to visit for the Romanesque connoisseur.

I've just realised that on iplayer you can not only watch programmes already seen but can download them so that you can watch them offline without them disappearing after 30 days or whatever the time limit is. I'm up for that! 'Churches' has started my collection off!!

I'll put something on the Journal in due course. A couple of prehistoric clues there (although maybe wishful thinking....)

One thing: Alfred Watkins was a local and mentioned it a lot. Now I like him, and Hereford needs a few heroes (beyond it's bishop that wrecked so many Wiltshire barrows and Monty Don and Nel Gwynne and the bloke that is the voice of Yoda and Miss Piggy....) but both in the church leaflets and on a notice board outside it says the dowsers and earth energy believers etc have been there finding leys. So the man who gave the world the perfectly sensible idea of leys as trackways is being discredited in his own back yard. Grrr. The church should know better than to be giving credence to supernatural nonsense.

Oh.

Part 3 tonight 8.30. Excellent programme even if you are not of a religeous ilk.

Following 'Churches' tomorrow at 8.30 is a new series that looks very interesting: Michael Wood's 'Stories of England'. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00tw231
