Corfu Blues blog 'subscriptions by email service' to be discontinued in July. FeedBurner announcement. Email widget.

I have received this disappointing email from Blogger:

Dorchester, Dorset: A Walk by the River

Durweston, Dorset. St. Nicholas's Church. Milton Abbey Church

We went for a drive to see our daughter's first boarding school at Durweston

(she first went there forty years ago, photo below, first day at school).

Looking back...

Two sculptures (1991) by Don Potter at St. Nicholas's Church, Durweston:

Saint Nicholas

Madonna and Child

On the way back to Dorchester, we revisited Milton Abbey Church, where we had taken our grandchildren (our daughter's children) to several magnificent concerts in the past.
