Well this is something you won't see every day...

Jet Powered Goose!

Personally I think he's just showing off... she doesn't look too impressed though.

Have a good evening all!

Red Ken's latest recruits hit the streets...

"You Shall Not Pass!" shouted Gandalf

Oh Deer... so hard to resist!

Someone pass the bag of buns please...

If you happen to visit Lydney, have a little time on your hands and are looking for somewhere quiet, I suggest you seek out St Mary's church.

This large church is mostly Early English, with the tower, aisled nave and chancel dating from the 13th century.

The east window and that in the south aisle contain Early English stained glass, whilst in contrast, in the north aisle is a modern window showing the Franz Joseph glacier in New Zealand; donated in 1941 by Lord Bledisloe to commemorate his tour of duty as Governor of New Zealand.

St Mary's is mentioned in 13th century documents and was built in the Early English style, as was Lydney's Preaching Cross.

The church still has its own station on the Dean Forest railway, although oddly access to the footbridge across the tracks has denied.

St Mary's Halt, Lydney

Bizarrely, St Mary's church really is on the wrong side of the Forest of Dean railway tracks...

Access to the footbridge is denied so even if passengers alight at the station there's no way there's no way for them to get to the church without jumping down off the platform, crossing the tracks and then climbing over the fence... how odd is that?
