FEATURE - Walsingham Abbey Snowdrops

 It appears to have become a favourite event for us to visit Walsingham in the crisp days of late Winter and premature Spring. Running from late January til the first days of March people visit the Abbey site to see the woodland dells carpeted as they are by thousands and thousands of snowdrops. Last year it happened in the midst of the River Stiffkey breaking its bounds and spreading over the flood plain in a powerful demonstration of its hidden super power. This year felt much more restrained by contrast, but as beautiful as ever. Here are a few photos from this years wander through this little Norfolk miracle.

FEATURE ~ Anglo-Catholic Bling

OK, I've been to Walsingham again. But I came back with a camera full of these precious beautys. I just can't get enough of daggers through the heart, bleeding hearts and fey hands placed on the chest in an 'I feel for you' gesture.

FEATURE 144 ~ Our Lady Of Walsingham

I keep returning to Walsingham, and to the figure of Our Lady Of Walsingham. The figure possess an allure for me I cannot totally fathom, a mysterious addiction that appears to get no easier to understand with repetition. I've been experimenting with visualising the figure whilst in meditation, which does appear to softly stir the emotions. I am intrigued.
