Surprisingly sincere. I really liked this, and it was great for the kids, too.
St. James Church, Nunburnholme
Last week I went on a bike ride with no particular destination, and ended up in a tiny village near Pocklington called Nunburnholme . There are so many old churches here in East Yorkshire! The village church and graveyard looked old and interesting: Nobody else was around and the church was locked. A sign on the door said to ask to borrow the church key from Rose Cottage, so I did. Here's Rose Cottage, just up the road a few yards: A friendly older woman opened the door, gave me the key, and said I could put it in the mail drop when I was done. The inside of the church was quiet except for the wind and birds up in the rafters. Right near the door is a Norman-era arch dated to 1100-1140 that has carved human faces in various attitudes: And behind that is an Anglo-Saxon cross or stele that was rediscovered in 1873 during demolition of part of the church. It had been built into a wall, and is partially damaged due to that. Being Anglo-Saxon, it is thought to be from rough
I loved this. It was entertaining, funny and clean, a combination that is very rare unless it's animated. I liked that the kids, though irritated and let down by their workaholic father, don't absolutely hate him. They get annoyed and mad at him, but they forgive him and support him in his very strange endeavor. Great movie.
