"O' what a beautiful morning" (Oklahoma-Howard Keel) 
, yeh' , its cold , windy , and wintery showers on the forecast !!!
To-days picture is the smallest church in England , St Andrews at Upleatham about 5 mile from my home , there are other church's that claim the same , but this one has a square tower , there are no more burials , as the last was in the 1960's in a family plot , and when the next generation died the family choose the then in fashion cremation , then it was repeated during 1980 and again cremation was the chosen way , and the deceased (spinster) having no direct blood relations the local parish council decided on closing the cemetery . With vandalism of late years the church is securely locked , occasionally the headstones get vandalised , and slowly the church grounds are becoming grassed over and well maintained .
