This piece has many slightly different versions - this must be an early one as there are one or two bits being added as I go along..
I've put it up now because at this time of year we often spent the New Year in Bamburgh Northumberland which has a way of celebrating like no other place I have ever been to .. The church is called St Aidans and one of the holy men who spread christianity up in that freezing cold, windswept but so bleak and beautiful place was Aidan. I don't think he was a saint at the time.
