Apse of St Bartholomew the Great - big Norman church - in London, with Christmas trees visible..
If you're in church this Christmas season, you can send me pictures of the church & I will try to tell you what is interesting about its architecture!
If you do it while you're in the church, I may even be able to do it in real time.
This is my church service* to you!
(*See what I did there...)

I can't sing and can't play a musical instrument. But back in 1985 when I had to pose for this group shot, I totally tried to steal what Jellybean Johnson did on the cover of The Time's 1981 album. The power of the skinny tie compelled me.
