The Flowers

"A Feast of Flowers" (2004)

TThis Spring, the Church was decorated by a magnificent display of floral arrangements on the theme "A Feast of Flowers".

Due to technical problems, the photographs of the flowers this year are rather poor. Hopefully a soon to be purchased new digital camera should improve things greatly in future!
