For the first time since buying her – she\u2019s stayed looking remarkably good all this while – I had Flo\u2019 washed today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My older smaller cars (MX5s, Ford Fiesta) were \u00a38 a pop. This SUV sized beast is \u00a312. Can\u2019t really afford it. But gotta look smart for work! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus it always feels good to have a shiny sparkly car for a while. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst the Eastern European folk – the boss was very friendly – washed Flo\u2019, I sat inside her, and read the article I reproduce above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It covers All Saints church, on Jesus Lane, and 183 Gwydir St, both in Cambridge. I\u2019ve visited the former. And marvelled at the Arts & Crafts interior (indeed, a photo of part of one of the walls was once my phones\u2019 wallpaper!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latter, also know as David Parr House (visit their website here<\/a>), however, is entirely new to me. Parr actually worked on All Saints, as a young apprentice. And 183 Gwydir St was his final home. Which, we are told here, he decorated amazingly over his lifetime\/tenure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must visit! Or in my case re<\/em>-visit All Saints, and take the guided tour (hmm!?*) at David Parr\u2019s House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* I\u2019ve never been too keen on such group activities. I prefer to explore on my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St Paul\u2019s, Gorefield<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve stopped and photographed the exterior of this church before. It\u2019s always been locked, on previous visits. Today I called the Churchwarden, a local lady called Joy. She very kindly opened the church for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once inside, I was immediately struck by some details at the altar end\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One more gallery, of misc pictures. This church is much more modern than most I vvisit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
