Last time, I was on the bike and it was absolutely torrential rain. Al I could think of was getting into a teashop and by the time they chucked us out the abbey was closed too! <br />I liked the dead bike!<br />And there is something comical to me about fountains in the rain.

Which is why I wondered instead if perhaps the artist meant that position to remind of the "fallen" angels (Rev 12:7-9)... Not sure, it was just a thought.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-9163268506187272382013-11-01T23:36:19.333+00:002013-11-01T23:36:19.333+00:00I have never been to Europe (though I travel there...I have never been to Europe (though I travel there through reading our National Geographic Magazine) but I was really excited to see that ladder.

I remember the Pulteney bridge over the river Avon and the house where Dickens lived.
