I knew that I recognised the spot. Have done that walk a couple of times, once to do the Five Sisters....July 1996....Those were the days.

having been there, that was a fairly easy one for me...
i put a couple of photos of the stadium a couple of weeks back (not on this ipad im afraid...) where we attended RM last match of the season (a few years ago).
they had already won the championship for the umpteenth time and after the match (which they won) they had a light show, a presentation of each player to the crowd and we were entertained by Placido Domingo.
we wouldnt normally travel to Madrid for a match and the reason we were there was because my OH won the trip in a competition.
we flew from London City in Chelsea FC's private jet (thanks Roman) and stayed for three days in a swanky hotel only a few hundred metres from the stadium....
of couse we got the tour, the souvenirs etc and it was a terrific night.
we saw a fair bit of the city too and will go back, with the van when passing that way...
OH is particularly skilled in the Comp department and we've been to some wonderful events and places over the past twenty years or so.

BB, the tallest in England is St James in Louth at 90 meters. There's no mention on the Kingsweston website stating the height of it's tower or that it is in fact the highest, as you would expect if it was.

yes, Nellie, as i said i couldnt find the height details, merely that my dad (over 90 now) always believed it to be the tallest in a village...whereas Louth is a market 'town'.

I'd sort your tics out but I have to socially distance.

Here’s another easy one, taken early March this year, but not in Portugal.
Now to have a think about BB’s, it does look familiar....🤔

Sorry for the error. I've just found a reference to Lavenham having the tallest tower, but not sure if it is higher than your steeple, and whether one can call Lavenham a village either.

yessir, as i said...its just a 100m from Wells Cathedral in an earlier photo.
we cycled over yesterday and had a sit on green there.

it probably doesnt matter, no doubt a bit of 'village' folklore
however, a nice bike ride (via a different route) over to my parents village, passing what was the cricket/football pitch where many of my relations played.
i was immediately transported back to enormous cream teas (made by the wives) and leaping from the next door barn rafters down onto huge bales of sheep wool...
the barns have been converted now and have Range Rovers parked outside....
