In our 5 yearly Quniquennial there were various items of building maintenance which included our leadded glass windows which had to be removed, serviced and returned.  We now have light as the windows are back, beautifully cleaned and repaired.

Looking through the clear glass window onto the churchyard and the view of the village I must recall that episode of "The Vicar of Dibley (S1 E4)  of "The Window and the Weather" when at the end Owen Nesbitt mutters those words as he stares through their clear glass replacement window

"Marvellous, when it comes to it, you can't beat God's own creation can you?."

As I stand inside and look at the flowers, the clouds and the view beyond I can only sigh and agree.
