DJ - Off To Church

[debris4spike]

I often mention that we have gone via the Church when we are on our travels - so this 6th and final pic scam is the biggest as it contains some of the rest of DJ's roads, as well as a couple of pictures of the Church ... all seen from DJ's point of view of course.

This is a typical view of the area, looking across towards the Church

Sometimes I mention that we go up a canter track - this is the start of it, which is about 1/2 mile from the Church.



If we hadn't turned up the track, but continued towards the Church, this is the road we are on.



Further along the same road.



At the top of that road - The Church is now behind me.  The small building you can see is actually an old well - for healing, not just for thirst.



And so we have got to Church!

The two of us hope that you have enjoyed seeing The Universe According To DJ!!

Wow!!

What a lovely sight!
DJ must be a very happy horse, living in such an amazing area!
This church absolutely looks great! I´m a big fan of old graveyards and what´s written on the gravestones.
Fantastic!
*send greetings from austria*

And greeting to you rom DJ and myself!!

Yes, DJ is mostly pretty relaxed and happy - and enjoys glaring into open gateways!

I also love Churches and churchyards - lovely to see the history - both of the area as well as the individuals

That's a nice old church. Lots of character unlike the new buildings we get here. How old is it?

[debris4spike]

The Church is fairly early - I don't actually know the date, but it would be 14th (ish) Century, by it's design ... I will try to find out!

It looks very nice - though I must admit the church is kinda scary with the old graves and stuff. Looks like somewhere Spike would hang out lol!

[debris4spike]

Yes, I suppose Spike would feel at home. I don't tend to think of them as scarey as every town and village in Britain has similar - the only difference being the style of Church ... So thanks for that thought ... great to see my part of the word through your eyes.

That is so incredibly beautiful. What amazing scenery.

[debris4spike]

It is certainly lovely in DJ's corner of the universe!

What a lovely place to spend time, whether lady or horse.

[debris4spike]

Yes, North Devon is lovely - and very peaceful

[winsomeone.livejournal.com]

What nice roads DJ gets to traverse. They look very peaceful.

I love old graveyards.

[debris4spike]

Most of these roads are very peaceful - although the road in the firsat of the set of pictures can be busy - especially with tractors.

yes, I love Churches and Churchyards - lovely places to spend time - and great to see local history as well

Lovely pictures - so nice to see such a large amount of green. Being on the outskirts of a town we have got countryside like that but it's too far to hack in. We have a whole load of fields instead.

I must take my camera next week! :) Thanks for sharing!

[debris4spike]

Yes, that's what I did last week - I went out and took most of a reel of film, so I could show you DJ's universe!

So although we do a lot of road work it isn't as tedious as it used to be where I first learnt to ride in Bude itself.

You make me fall more in love with your land there with every picture. How blessed to ride those lanes and just enjoy the lush lovliness and history all round you. Sigh....one day!

Thanks for sharing your life with me!

[debris4spike]

Yes - it is a lovely part of the world - and we even get green in Winter - I am very lucky

Glad to be able to share DJ and my part of the world

Gorgeous pictures. The church is very solid and impressive in its beauty. 14th century?

[debris4spike]

I think 14th - someone else asked and I tried finding out - but without going there I couldn't find any details ... That is the time I had guessed at - so Great minds think alike. Cetainly inside is smallish to be any later

It is a lovely part of the world

OMGosh! I love the universe according to DJ!!! SO many trees and so much green. You have no idea how beautiful those pictures look to me. All I see is brown...and sand...and tumbleweeds. &&& What I would give to take pictures of that church. I'm really into photography, and that place is so beautiful. I would go crazy taking pictures.

[debris4spike]

It has been fun showing eveyone DJ's life - but it has helped to remind me how lovely the place is.

Love to see a couple of pics of your area when you have time.

I am getting back into my photography - I do need a digital camera though, the time-lag on film is beginning to annoy me, when all my friends have their pics immediatly ... LOL

[oldgreymare.livejournal.com]

Thank you for sharing all these wonderful pictures of the places you and DJ go for your rides. The countryside that you ride in is absolutely fantastic and I can see why you enjoy your daily rides so much. I would love to be able to join you, but alas it is just a tad too far. But this has at least helped me to enjoy it just a little.

[debris4spike]

It was great to share our corner of the universe with you - So although it is a lot of road riding, at least it is great scenery while doing it!

[classicanne01.livejournal.com]

Oh it's so pretty!
I love the pics!
It looks like you've posted some more too, can't wait to see them!

[debris4spike]

Glad you enjoyed!

[bendy1.livejournal.com]

I like the well, very pretty :D

[debris4spike]

It is nice - opposite the Church car-park, but also slightly hidden away.

[beanbeans.livejournal.com]

What a beautiful, scenic path to take! I really love that fifth picture. :)

[debris4spike]

Thanks - it is certainly one of my favourite routes - DJ just enjoys life in general!
