Just in case you run out...

Sorry, I really couldn't resist the play on words...

I recently posted some images of the ancient Yews growing in the churchyard at Bettws Newydd. The trees are amongst the oldest Yews in Wales.

As well as wanting to photograph the Yews I also wanted to get a look at the 15th century village church, St Aeddan's, which has a rare late medieval rood screen and rood loft carved from Welsh oak.

Apologies for lack of focus on some of these images... for reasons best known to myself, I seemed to be a bit shaky the day I visited Bettws Newydd.

Those interested in such things may want to look at the images I took of the rood screen at Llangwm church.

Never judge a book by its cover... that's what they say isn't it? And how true is that? First impressions are so often deceptive.

Take this image for instance:

I'm not a betting man, but I'd put money on your first thoughts being of pollution; would I be right?

Just to put the record straight it's steam you can see rising, not smoke or exhaust gasses. Not that I'm suggesting there isn't any polluting elements, but it's very easy to jump to the wrong conclusion...

Do you make snap judgements about people/things based on first impressions?
